Got a Job Offer!

Well after 8 months of looking (6 months actively) I was given an offer. $35k (was hoping for more, but that seems to be the standard). I'd get to play with a ton of technology and really expand my skillset. Plus they will pay for my graduate education so I really can't complain. I have till tomorrow to accept the offer, and I have to change my start date to Monday instead of Wednesday.

But I can't help but to say the pay is very low. I know it's tough time economically. I know you mentioned they will pay for grad school, but it's absurd they the position pays that low, i.e. they didn't deduct your grad school cost from the annual pay.
Two years ago, I turned down an offer for $36K as a matter of principle. A month later I got another job that paid me way above.
But anyways, hey since you're happy with it, that's all that matter:) good luck.
Congratulations!
I think the pay depends on your experience, the company, and your location. $36K usd is about $40K CAD, so take that into consideration too...
Also, with the way the job market is right now, a job in the mid 30's that also pays for school is a godsend, imo.

Although the pay might be lower than you want, this definitely sounds like a great opportunity. In a few years you will be sitting pretty good with the experience and (free) schooling.
