I'm about to graduate with a degree in Computer Science and have been offered three jobs in New York. I'm trying to figure out what a realistic salary range would be for me. Details: I have one offer from a consulting firm for $85,000, and another from a tech startup for $100,000. Both are in NYC. The third offer is from a non-profit in Brooklyn for $75,000. I've heard that salaries can be very different depending on the company size and industry. I'm also curious about how people go about negotiating their salary in New York, if there are any tricks to getting a higher offer, and what the cost of living is like in different areas of NYC. I'd appreciate any insights or advice from those who have experience in this area. Any industry-specific advice for tech, consulting, or non-profits would be especially helpful.
