Is everyone getting low balled in salary discussions these days? Do you even bother negotiation?

Low balled is relative - being offered a salary less than you want is not low balling. Your market rate is some combination of what the company is willing to pay you, what you’re willing to accept and the cost of the next best alternative. It’s not a function of what you’re currently earning (or previously were earning) or whatever it is you think you’re worth.

True..

Yes and yes. I do a lot of research on positions and the location before I even show up for the interview. I’ve been in situations where I was going to take whatever they give me, but ideally I’m always laying out my case and why I should get more.

How have these discussions gone?

Oftentimes yes

I find that places offer the low end of the band because they can

I mean big big company is like 10x bigger than the small one if this was a factor. Assume everything else the same, WLB, commute, teams, etc.
