What was your starting salary when you first got into the industry?

Just got promoted from intern to Project Manager/Estimator at a small-medium GC. Starting salary (because I have a long ways to go in terms of skill and experience) is 70k a year, benefits are healthcare, cafeteria plan (basically pays my deductible for healthcare), and then a $400 a month car allowance.

I’m happy with my pay and benefits based on living in the Minneapolis area. I can afford a nice house in a year or two now and my car payment is paid for each month. I’m more just curious on states and regional pay difference.
