If you've come in through on campus recruiting, there is very little room for negotiation. Firms typically have blanket policies on offers that apply to everyone.

Also depends on the group, they may be super desperate. Doesn’t hurt to ask?

The firm does not reward graduate degrees with 0 YOE, the firm does however reward graduate degrees with 2+ YOE.

I have multiple colleagues who were screwed by finishing a graduate degree immediately after undergrad. They entered at the same pay and status as all of us who just finished undergrad. But those of us who waited 2 years saw 20-30% increases in comp when we returned.
