One way would be to try to get an offer from one of the big players - Google, FB, Amazon, etc - even if you don't want to work for them. They all pay about the same starting, and since they're so visible they set the market, especially for recent grads. Of course, their numbers are also inflated with the cost of living in the Bay, so scale accordingly if you don't live there.

Only if your job offer is in the Bay Area. Some of these companies have branches in smaller cities where the cost of living (and consequently pay) is lower.
