What salaries are considered entry level in IT?

Is $20-$22/hr considered entry level pay in the IT field? If not, does someone mind breaking down what payrates are considered entry level, mid level, high level, etc...

Sounds Good

Depends on location and job duties.
but generally range from 10-20/hr

Entry-level pay in my area varies from roughly $10/hr to $40/hr, depending on how much you invested in your education and/or certifications. Visit Payscale or Glassdoor if you want to compare typical Jr/Normal/Sr salaries where you are.

I would agree more closely with Sounds Good.

$9.00 - $20.00 in Knoxville, TN. That price applies for L2 as well because apparently no one around here thinks there is a difference between the two.

As an example, I have between 3-5 years experience and make $14.00 p/h + $2.25 p/h shift diff. Very low in my opinion, but this company has some good potential and great management.

Depending on the area
for example...
Where I used to live pizza delivery peeps earned like 8 bucks n hour
in Washington they earn almost 15 bucks...
depends on the lifecost and/or area

In the Southeast, $32-40k is entry level.

In Charlotte everything I've been offered has been in the $10-$13 range for entry level work, that's why I went a different route.

I would say in my area it would be about 15hr or less.

What industry the company is in can be a major factor in the pay as well. A small real estate office with a couple of agents is going to pay a much different scale than say Google.

I started at $12.50/hr. I've more than doubled that now though.

Entry level pay is purely subjective to the person who is going to take the job. Every person is different, when I got my first job in IT was working at a home improvement store selling power tools for 8 dollars an hour. I got a job with Northrop Grumman entry level for 30K a year with a full benefits package. My current retail job didn't have benefits since I was part time working 39 hours a week and going to school at night.

To me that was awesome entry level, come to find out after I was hired I was the lowest paid help desk person there. Some found out and said I should have asked for more, I was like "uh I had a Windows NT workstation cert, A+ and I knew the guy who got me the interview. I really had very little negotiating assets like a degree working in my favor and I was currently earning 5K above the poverty rate lol.

Simply comb through the data in this thread and you will get an idea of what people started out with in IT.
