I don't make much more than that, and I have close to 3 years experience, all with the same firm.
I was led to believe, from teachers in my department, that in our field, we're usually hired at a pretty low rate for a 3 month trial, at which point they review your work, and either drop you, or bump up your salary to something more reasonable.
Long story short, I'm still waiting on a salary increase that I was expecting after 3 months.
I have seen two (three coming soon) yearly performance reviews now, and I've pretty much lost all hope that I will ever get any salary increase. Instead, I've decided to go back to school and become an architect.
I still love the industry, but it's painfully clear that there's not much room for advancement, with what I have.
