I accepted a job offer the same day without negotiating because I was excited to finally land something. My friend said employers expect you to counter, and now I'm paranoid that I left too much money on the table. Did I really screw this up?

Companies are not as open to negotiating now as they used to be. They don't need to negotiate because they are guaranteed to have other candidates in line who are just as good and willing to work for whatever they are offered. Don't have regrets, you secured a job and that's what matters. Congrats!

I wouldn’t consider it a screw up.

How much experience do you have? I was once a marketing coordinator which is more entry level usually, so I know back then I didn’t have much leverage in countering offers.

Best thing to do is to get as much experience as you can and use it for higher pay at a new role if you wish to leave. The return on that will be much higher than negotiating now with limited experience imo.

if you felt good about accepting the offer then no! you can always negotiate next time

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
