The starting salary in your first job after getting your degree might be the most difficult to negotiate during your entire career. This is because you don’t have a lot of work experience to use as a bargaining chip. For many graduates the most important thing is to just get their foot in the door of the labor market. And a lot of them don’t know what kind of salary they can request of a new employer, either.
It is important to enter the labor market on the right starting salary. So in order to get you off to a good start on your career, Tekna prepares annual salary recommendations for you and other recent graduates who want to work in the private sector.
Tekna’s starting salary recommendations
Each year, Tekna prepares starting salary recommendations and, as a Tekna student member, you have access to them. A lot of people find our recommendations useful when looking for a job or negotiating the salary/employment terms for their first job after graduating.
If you’re a regular Tekna member/student member, feel free to contact your local Tekna representative in the organization, government agency or municipality where you’re interested in working to find out more information about local working and living conditions.
