    Question Expected Entry Level Salary?

    I just received an offer from a health insurance company.

    Graduated in 2007 with a degree in Economics.
    Passed 1 Exam - P.
    2 VEE's.
    Some programming experience in C++ and some excel experience.

    The range on DW Simpson is 44-60. (10th to 90th percentiles)

    Just curious what other people in similar situations were offered.

    I was offered 56. Benefits like 401k matching to 5%, health and dental.
    About 80 paid hours study time per future exam.

    What do you think?

    Were you in a similar situation to me when you started? What was your salary?

    ''', congrats for this job! I am looking for an entry level currently, hopefully I can get the same luck as you. Well, as far as I know, their offer is not bad. 56 is over average, I guess.

    btw, do you mind helping me critique my resume?

    The OP has already indicated in her post that she's seen the DW Simpson Salary scale before - that wasn't the question she was asking.
