Hi all! Saw a post for 2025, so thought I would start one for 2026 :)

As upcoming grads, we’re all probably applying to jobs and in the process of interviewing. I think it would be helpful to discuss entry level salaries across US (and around the world!) to help with negotiations and understanding the market better. It would be helpful to include location, degree and other background info.

I’ll go first - graduating this June with an M.Arch, just accepted an offer in NYC for 72k. Have two years of full time experience between bachelors and M.Arch. (Starting to think I got lowballed after seeing the 2025 AIA compensation report where the median salary in NYC is 73k.)
