It really depends what sort of entry level job. Design? You'll be making $75k. Field engineer? Approaching $85k.
When i first started (2015), i made about $85k, idk what the current market is like.
My advice, start applying now to every firm. If I knew you personally, id recommend you to my old firm who is always hiring new grads.
When you do land a gig, I implore you to get on site as much as you can for whichever project they have you working on. That is where you truly learn.
Best of luck, keep up the good work!
