I’ve seen great candidates lose offers because they negotiated too late or not at all. Timing matters as much as the ask. Negotiation is a skill, not a personality trait. When do you feel most comfortable negotiating an offer?

I'm always negotiating at the final stage, because I know I've been picked and they want to extend an offer, but recruiters also ask me on the very first screening call what is my expected salary. There have been some surprises in the past but it usually works fine this way.

Same! I agree, I think you're usually fine with this approach

So real. I’ve seen people hold off on negotiating until after the verbal offer—by then, the window for influence is often already closed. I wish more folks realized that negotiating is less about being aggressive and more about being prepared.

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?
