I graduated during a financial collapse in 2008 with a CS degree. I had about 2 years of internship experience at the time. My college friends were telling me "it's really bad - take what you can get." After weeks of searching I ended up taking my first engineering job which paid $25k a year. It was rough and my only advice is get ready for the worst.
