Another question about salaries.

JCArchi

Hey Archinect, I have an interview this week in Chicago for an intern position and was wondering what I should expect/ask for in regards to my salary. I completed my Bachelors in Design last year and have no previous work experience in an office. With that said, I realize I don't have a whole lot of room for negotiation, so I wanted to put feelers our there for what is considered an entry level intern salary. The firm is fairly large, which may or may not make a difference.

When I first started, I was paid 35K. Did BSc in Architecture Studies with 2 months internship (outside U.S.). But I was working in Baton Rouge, LA. Probably its gonna be higher in Chicago. The links above should help u.

Good luck on your interview.

Miles, do you have any interns? I'm surprised that they don't go to someone who pays them, if you're being serious.

30 to 6.  only a bump in architecture.  other people would consider that a step down.
