HR at a small-medium /g/ company asks me for salary expectations

In southern California that's like minimum wage.

Really? Everyone is actually pretty cool at the company. It is a junior position and i did just graduate. Definitely looking to grow within the company, that comes with pay raises right?

I'm not saying don't take it, but depending upon the area your rent may be 3-4k.

Ask for at least 70. Not sure where in SoCal you are but 65 seems low to me as well. Speaking as a new grad in an area with much lower CoL

Ask for 75k.
Salary is a negotiation. If they want you they'll negotiate.

65k really is not much for socal, you could probably pull a bit more than that working at a decent restaurant with tips.

75-80 is probably where you should be shooting for in entry level SE in socal, and if you have a good skill set you could probably get as much as 100 without work history.

Yeah or just go and work in an unpaid internshit.

I don't think I'm planning on spending more than 2k on rent around here for now. I thought my skillset and experience matched their requirements pretty nicely. Thanks for the input /g/. Goodbye.
