In most cases one can make 31k-45k with three or more years of experience. But entry level pay will be 28k-31k.

@ king zanj
I disagree. Up to 45k without a degree, but that's only for level 3 desktop techs, and that is with around 5 years experience normally.
a typical entry level desktop tech with no experience only makes about 24k.
@Theodore
With your B.S. in IS, you would earn significantly more.
You would start around 40k and get around 55k after a couple years.
Keep in mind, I'm talking about big companies. They pay well for a B.S. in IS.
Don't work for a small company as an IT guy, you'll never get off the helpdesk, no advancement.

55k after a couple of years is BS. I just got off monster and if your luck $12 to $17 an hour. If you are making 55 after never leave and thank them daily for the pay check.

I have BS degree in IT. I graduated a year ago but I was originally from Rhode Island before I moved out here in New York. I really think there is a significant difference with your salary depending where you are working. Before I left Rhode Island a few companies were offering me 35K-40K a year for an entry level IT support. Then when I moved here in New York the starting salary that was offered to me was 40K-50K a year for an entry level IT support job. Best wishes for everyone!

AJ in Tucson, Arizona

9 months ago

I have a question:
I currently live in AZ and make about 37k and I am trying to get a job in NewYork. What is a reasonable salary in comparison? I've looked it up online and it says about 45k. But the main reason I ask is that I've applied to a few jobs in NY and so far only a few have e-mailed me back asking about Salary Requirements. I have e-mailed them back a rough estimate around 45k and so far after I've e-mailed them that, they have not replied.

Is that to much? I'm confused.
