Hi guys,
So a bit of a back story first, I've just graduated Uni with a Bach. of IT and have had various full-time and casual jobs as a teenager and while at Uni. I went for a job interview yesterday morning (got the job) and got asked a question that I had never been asked before:
"What kind of salary package are you thinking..?"
Now it may be because I've had shitty retail and IT jobs previously and employers that basically just didn't give a shit, but I had no idea how to the respond to the question or what the expected rate of pay for a job like this would be. A previous casual IT support job I had at Uni netted approx. $30 an hour, where as support at an IT store had netted around $16 an hour.
Really, I was just wondering if fellow ozbargainers in the IT industry could offer suggestions of what a part-time IT support job salary would be worth, and perhaps methods/tactics to negotiate a good pay package?
Would really appreciate the help! Thanks guys,
Caids
Look at the salary survey for your city and position and ask for the market rate.
