How steep are takeoffs?

Can anyone tell me here how steeply do aircraft take off at? How many fpm do you punch in on the autopilot?

From the ground it looks very steep - maybe 4000 fpm on initial takeoff?

So what rate do you take off at, say in a 737? Would it be the same for a 777?

During the 2nd part of the climb what rate is generally accepted as the norm? Say 3000 fpm?
