My opinion is one can start with any salary, including non paying internship. The most important thing is the line of specialization you are focussing to build on your career. After you gain substantial skills in your line you will possess bargaining powers,companies will need you to give them solutions and give you better terms.

Hi,
I will agree with James. Also it depends on your qualification i.e fresh graduate with already added cert like ccna or ccnp will hv more bargaining power if he had already done some internship in busy organization. Starting can be over 60k or so. Above Average graduate with no added cert from a recognized institution like Moi Uni with Comp science degree can start with 40k or so. Smart person from recognized institution can start with 30k or so. Others i.e Kemu, inorero, and the like can start with any. But my starting was 70k in 2012 and now am doing well though, doing my CCIE Lab in April next yr.
Regards,
Evon

That will all depend with the region! If in Nairobi and in all the Cities in Kenya giving anyone less than Ksh25,000 is slavery! I humiliatively started with Ksh 13,000 some 10 years ago and would barely survive!
My pure recomendation is Ksh 25,000 else the company does not need the IT Support personnel, thats a provision for a grown company. There is no need to employ IT support if you are giving less than that and at some point out-sourcing is cheaper!

Hey skunks, I'd like to hear your views on how much you think is a reasonable pay for IT support as starting salary.
I'd like to hear your views from a freelancer perspective, employee and employer (or a friend to the guy being hired)
Regards.
