State job salaries are not based off your experience, rather the position you applied for should have the salary poster already.

Also I have a comp sci degree living in NJ with over 10 yrs exp. Is there not a private sector job you can find, or, you specifically want this job?

If you're interested in staying private sector, insurance companies LOVE their benefits. I'm in software development for insurance and my pay is like fine but I've always had comical amounts of health coverage, great 401k match and like 20 days of PTO.

Every agency has those IT specialist positions, some with different starting salaries. Make sure you browse all agencies to compare. Also, you can apply to IT specialist 2 or 3 position if they are available. You will easily climb up with your experience.
