I accepted my offer fresh out of college in May without negotiating (rookie mistake, I know). I was just so excited to have a job. But now, I think I left money on the table. When it's time for my review next week, should I ask for a raise that compensates for an offer that should have been higher?

Why do you think you can negotiate as a fresh graduate?

You should be asking for a raise based on the quantifiable achievements during your tenure (reduced process A by X days, improved ABC by $xxxx.xx). Your offer is not relevant at this point.

You are fine, I had the same situation, but not necessarily getting out of college, but trying to escape out of a toxic environment (Within my same industry of my expertise), in which I moved to another company with a slight better salary, but I also feel myself better mental health wise.

If you were unemployed, or earn more than your previous jobs, that’s what it matters. Everything is a process.

Just be patient, get experience, and keep climbing professionally and financially from there.

Ur only leverage would be competing offers; otherwise there’s not really anything to negotiate aside from your start date…Also it hasn’t been a full year yet so I would not expect too much in terms of raises; I think the feedback you receive would be much more valuable and actionable.. approaching with that attitude (rather than focusing on comp from the get go) would be more productive at this early stage in your career.

I've been exploring exit opportunities for a few months and still holding out for the right opportunity. However, I've had A LOT of recruiters reach out to me for positions that are way below my current salary. They do the whole "your background and expertise is exactly what we're looking for" then turn around and offer a salary range that is 20k below my current level. My resume clearly says I've got 10yrs experience and an MBA. I **don't think* I should be getting offers of 80k-100k

Are there any good networking groups?

I found an Austin young professionals group, but it’s almost entirely realtors and loan people. Which is fine, but I’m looking for more typical networking professionals groups.

I liked the Project management institute, but I’m looking for more. Either General professional, finance, tech, or healthcare focused ones would be ideal.
