shrug I'm a starry eyed junior whittled to 30 bucks an hour, but I had better offers on the table that didn't come from recruitment firms.

I don't feel particularly screwed because I'm going to be getting raises over time, especially if I decide to hop out of my first job at year 3 or 4.

55-60k really isn't a bad place to be in many locations. I can't imagine it in some of the traditional startup places like the SF Bay area, Boston, or Seattle area though.
