Always negotiate. Always.
If they would rather pass up quality talent for someone cheaper, that says a lot about their culture and their priorities and it’s not a company I would wanna work for. The job I have now was posted for an entire year. Sure they interviewed many and had the opportunity to hire someone cheap. But those candidates were not the right fit. So they waited until they found the candidate with the right skills and experience for the specific role. I went through the interview process, got the offer, and negotiated and got 7% more! So, yes, always negotiate. Don’t be scared. Fear does not promote success.

I don’t know if I’d say don’t negotiate. But I see where you’re coming from. Also, is the shouting necessary? Hah
Always negotiate
Yeah.. these times are hard, so negotiate when you know you have a lot of leverage, but I agree that nowadays there are so much competition that it's getting harder and harder to negotiate. A good recruiter would tell you that "they appreciate your efforts, but that's what they can offersometime there is a little space for negociation.
Always negotiate. Employers always starts from low and also it shows the confidence. I think it is a chance to get pay increase quickly.
Disagree. I've always negotiated and always gotten more. I've never lost a job offer as a result of negotiating.
Always negotiate.
Negotiating a salary offer involves a careful balance of risk and reward. On the reward side, data shows that negotiation is often successful—according to a Jobvite survey, 86% of those who negotiated received higher pay. This highlights the potential upside of advocating for your value. However, there is a risk: a Salary.com survey found that 19% of respondents had a job offer rescinded after attempting to negotiate. While this is not the norm, it underscores the importance of how the negotiation is approached. Being respectful, well-informed, and flexible can significantly reduce the risk of a negative outcome. It's also important to avoid relying solely on anecdotal evidence—stories like “my friend negotiated and got a 20% raise” can be inspiring but don’t reflect the broader trends or risks. Ultimately, while there is some risk involved, the potential for increased compensation and better job terms often makes negotiation a worthwhile endeavor when done thoughtfully.
