Madness is rare in individuals, but in groups, parties, nations and ages it is the rule.

I was curious, the gf is getting her first paid internship (well interviewing) for a graphic design gig. They told her to send a salary requirement along with here references for her interview on Monday. The dilemma is she has no idea what to pitch back to them. She doesn't want to lowball herself, but she's afraid because it's only an internship if she goes too high they might just pass on her and go for someone else.

This is in California, LA county, for factoring in living.

There are various job titles that are similar. Junior Graphic Designer. Level 1 Mouse Pusher... so figure out what companies are calling similar positions.

Do a search on payscale.com and salary.com and to some extent glassdoor.com and they can limit by region. Give more allegiance to duties assigned.

If they did not list the duties assigned in the job post then take the most common duties and make your salary case based on those. i.e. It would depend on the duties assigned to the position- if they are comparable to these then I would be interested in a salary of blah.

You will want to land in the median depending on what you bring to the table.

So that's not the answer you were looking for, but its how to find it.
