I don't think this is appropriate. I'm a Computer Sc. grad doing engineering work. How do you explain that? It is what your attitude and your passion to continue learning after university days.

Actually I think most people graduated from IT background do not have the passion for it and they even memorize the coding (this I know is true, bcoz I have a lot of fren doing so). So during the interview session, they cannot demand much from their future employer as they lack of knowledge. I was able to negotiate my salary the interviewer and the guy even decided to hire me with a few hundreds off budget. Besides that, I think most people think since the competition is tough, they are willingly to reduce their salary expectation....same like discount during sales, just to get a job. For me, I think the most appropriate is to set a realistic salary expectation (pls do not reduce just becoz u c others doing so), and really study on what you should know
