Is $70,000 an acceptable starting salary for a fresh graduate who had 4 years internship experience while in school and graduated top of the class? Should more be expected or does 70k sound fair?
It's good, but clarify if you are getting paid overtime. Some firms pay time and a half for recent grads, and I have colleagues at SOM who have nearly hit six figures because of this (when you get promoted, no mo overtime though).
Mings, probably not the best idea to exclaim your salary on the internet with your full name.
You're talking to someone who hates the secretive crap that comes with talking about salaries in architecture. If there are any repercussions so be it. The more we all know what the market is like, the more we are able to get paid fairly.
Actually on second thought, can someone edit my first post? While I'm not saying exactly what I make, it's close enough. Second post still holds though.
Also, why isn't there an edit button (unless I'm missing it?)

Josh, you can edit within 5 minutes of posting. After that, you gotta ask.
^ you're doing fine too, happiness counts. :)
Working on the happiness part though. That's the part that really counts.
if anything, sometimes happiness comes with age.
Wow $70k! I was offered 30 right out of undergrad (a few years ahead of OP) at a firm... nope!
