If you've just graduated, I'd say your first criteria should be the job profile - the work that you'll be doing, and the opportunity for you to learn and grow there. Also, make sure you negotiate a salary that can cover your expenses and you can live decently. Beyond that, don't stress too much on how others will judge you based on the salary you get - many people do that, but think about it like this, if right now you focus on doing things that you enjoy and that provide you opportunity to grow, you're likely to do well in such an environment...and in the long run (say in the next 4-5 years), you'll be in a much better & happier position as compared to your other friends who took up a job based more on the salary.
