CE Grad job hunting...wondering worth?

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>I will be graduating in December with a B.S. in Civil Engineering. I have a overall GPA of 3.55 and a major GPA of 3.64. I have passed the FE exam for my EIT and have several internships on my resume - Hensel Phelp Construction Co, Army Corp of Engineers (ERDC), and some smaller companies.</p>

<p>I’m currently applying for an entry level environmental project manager position for a firm in Atlanta. I meet most, if not all of the requirements. The job posting requires you to NAME your salary requirements. I have a general idea of what entry level BS CEs get (45-55k?), but what should I put for my salary without knowing specifics on hours, benefits, etc? Should I apply and aim for the high end saying it’s negotiable based upon benefits? Or should I apply without naming a price and let them know I won’t know my price until I get more specifics?</p>

<p>Any advice would be appreciated!</p>

<p>“entry level environmental project manager” Doesnt that sound off to you, or it is just me?</p>

<p>Anyway, entry-level tends to get pay around $50k, project manager ranges but definitely more than $50k. </p>

<p>Perhaps see what they are offering and negotiate from there. Best of luck.</p>

<p>Just state that you’re flexible as far as salary goes (e.g. put Negotiable). You never want to give them an edge in negotiation. Decline to state it and look up on glassdoor.com relevant salaries.</p>
