I would remind them that their first salary is NOT going to follow them the rest of their career. It is incredibly normal for new grads to undervalue themselves in their first job. With the job market the way it is currently, it is almost a requirement if you actually want to get hired.
Absolutely, that's a great point! It’s important to remember that the first salary is just one part of a long career journey. New grads often feel pressure to accept lower offers, but it’s crucial to evaluate the entire compensation package, including benefits and opportunities for growth. Encouraging them to research industry standards and to practice negotiating can empower them in future discussions. Building confidence in their value will help them advocate for themselves effectively as they progress in their careers. What other strategies do you think could help them?
