Pay scale - Graduates
Discussion
How much would you expect to pay a BSc Hons graduate, (Construction Commercial Management) also with a HND (Building Studies) who also has 6 years relevant experience as a QS/Commercial?
I appreciate that you pay Graduartes around x-y but then it complicates with the 6 years experience.
Any idears are appreicated.
Thanks
Adam

Hi Adam, this may sound rude but it isn't meant to be - its meant to be helpful.
Surely you should know roughly the pay grade more than us on here - you have a degree in the subject and should have a great insight into this as this is what you have been studying for the past few years - and obviously it depends on the company and the exact type of job you go for.
Some trainee solicitors for example earn 16k in their first year whilst some get 75k if they are outstanding. Where is your degree from, what part of the country are you wanting to work in, do you have any contacts etc etc.
Too many variables to answer a good reply!

Not too many Zonda owning students round my way at least!

£30/35k? For a graduate? I have a BSc (Hons) Real Estate Management degree and my grad starting salary is £24k, which is higher than most of my peers.
Yes, but from the sounds of things this person has done a day release degree. A typical 'graduate' and an experienced day-release 'graduate' are completely different candidates.As for £30k+ for a starting salary (even for a 'typical graduate') - it is perfectly possible.
Do they still need to take any professional exams/qualifications or are they set to fee earn from day one?
If they still have some training to do/quals to gain then I'd have thought mid-high 20's with a decent lift when they qualify. If they are set to fee earn now and have 6 years relevant experience, then 30-35k.

I believe Adam has his own property development firm, in which case they can 'fee earn' from day one - and never really need the MRICS.If they still have some training to do/quals to gain then I'd have thought mid-high 20's with a decent lift when they qualify.
