When I graduated in '09 I accepted the first offer I got as I had no idea how the job market worked. I found it through a recruiter rather than trying any graduate programs. I started on £23k which went up to £25k after probation. After a year and a half I got promoted from a junior and was on £35k. Last year I quit to work for a friend's startup and was offered nearly double that, before I left they offered me £55k to stay. Afterwards I found one of the guys doing pretty much the same as me was getting £60k, so I made the right choice :-)
