Starting salaries for fresh graduates have seen some changes, often influenced by economic shifts and industry demand. Generally, there's been an increase to match inflation and economic growth, but it varies by field. However, it's worth noting that the rising cost of living in many places has outpaced these salary adjustments, making it challenging for some graduates to keep up. My advice? Research salary trends in your specific field and location to negotiate a fair starting salary.
