A high salary or income is a dream for many people. But what about fresh graduates? What is the ideal salary for them?
Many questions come to mind when fresh graduates are about to enter the workforce. For example, what is the minimum salary for fresh graduates without any experience? Is it possible for them to get a high salary? Which field offers the highest salaries?
Keep in mind that there is no exact amount to determine the salary for fresh graduates. There are many factors affecting an employee’s income.
These factors include the Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) in each region. The position applied for, the industry field, and the company’s scale can also differ. Companies within the same industry and scale may have different salary policies or standards.
From the applicants’ perspective, their experience and competencies can also provide different values. Another important factor is their negotiation skills in convincing the recruiter during the interview.
