Hoping there are campus recruiters here who can talk to this. Is it just me, or are Gen Z tech candidates significantly better at negotiating their first salary than we were? I have about 3 entry-level persons on my team who are making what I made 3 years in, and it's pretty astounding.

There is way more information out there, and Gen Z especially knows how to use it. Plus, they can’t settle for less right now with the cost of living on the rise.

What I've been hearing is that a lot of entry level people are actually taking lower offers lately, especially with AI eliminating a lot of entry level jobs. That's going to be the real story going forward, who can afford to take an entry level job and how few of them will exist. I'm not one to envy young job seekers in this environment.

There's just more information available. Also Ai can help them negotiate.

They aren't as afraid of walking away from an opportunity that isn't ideal the way us millennials were, IME. That makes them bolder with negotiations.

Additional Posts in Ask A Recruiter - Tech

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
