Whats a good salary to ask for in Durham, NC for an entry level Software Engineer?

run away from them unless you like working 12/6.

I think $60,000-70,000 is typical in RTP for entry level but might want to verify through Glassdoor, H1Binfo, and Salary

Ask for +$80k and negotiate from that. Most of my friends in the RTP area went into the bigger companies and started out in the 60-70k range. Take into account if they offer college if you're planning on pursuing a graduate degree and bonuses as well.
