At what point in your career did you start to feel confident negotiating your salary? Trying to negotiate my salary makes me so nervous. I've been working for three years, will my confidence start to improve soon?

For me, as long as you are coming at it from a place of respect and not being a jerk, it never hurts to ask for more. Or go in with the number that would lead you to accept and don’t pull the rug out. The worst thing that could happen is the other side saying no. If you do all that and someone pulls an offer, then it is probably not a place you want to work.

Now, there are always standard programs (e.g., roles post-graduation) that are standard and have no room for leverage, but do your homework.

I have always asked since college.

It worked a lot more after year 3
