Curious, just accepted offer for entry level swe role (not a comp sci major) and it was well over what I make now and I always hear to negotiate salary but in this case should I have negotiated just to negotiate?

I didn't for my latest role and I regret it...I now know it's always better to push just a teensy bit!

Some people will die on the hill of negotiating just to negotiate. On the one hand why not if you can, but on the other hand there isn't anything wrong with being happy about the offer you received and taking it if it has everything you want. It's not as if it means you'll never get a raise or be able to negotiate in the future.

Thank you, I was thinking the same thing. I felt the offer was generous already so asking for more would be out of greed

You may not get what you're hoping for, but it wouldn't hurt if you try. Definitely worth the shot.

I ALWAYS negotiate. They want to get you for the cheapest amount so there is always wiggle room. I know sometimes its easy to see the number and get excited and accept, but always ask for a little more. Even if they say no, atleast you asked.

If you feel like you are contented or okay with the offer, I think you can skip the negotiation part. We usually negotiate to at least have a higher salary. You can still ask for a raise in the future. So it's not really a problem.

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews. I called the HR after getting their point of contact mail and I asked if it's possible to switch. They said I'm already tagged to a project and that they'll check from their end if it can be done.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.

Just graduated with Aerospace Engineering degree. I am interviewing for multiple positions at once with different companies. One gave me an offer and they want me to get back to them within 2 days. I still have other interviews scheduled and some for higher paying jobs (around 90k) What should I do?
I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

How does this resume look, as I have been applying and not hearing back, is it because I graduate in 2023?, Also I am at an internship right now but I know the return offer won't be good only 60k even though I will have my degree and CCNA
