At any of the Big 4 or reasonable size firms there is zero negotiation. As a new grad you’re competing against literally thousands of applicants who will take your spot in a heartbeat. Don’t listen to clickbait articles and just take the role.

like

Unless you have a competing offer, do yourself a favor and accept what you’re offered.

Depends on the company and offer.

Some companies operate on a cohort system where all new hires are paid the same and no negotiation on pay is allowed.

Depending on the specifics of your offer, presuming you're not in a cohort, you might be able to ask for higher leave accumulation or a few grand extra for base pay.

What is your offer?

like

There’s no negotiation when you’re a new grad. If you have a competing offer with another big4 for higher money take it. Other than that, accept. If you decline then change your mind, it’ll be too late. There’s thousands applying and this job market isn’t helpful.

like

The only way to ever negotiate anything at all is to have leverage.

Other offers, specialized skills or education....any of those things that roll up to "additional value" or "willingness to walk away" are all you've really got.

That's tough to have right out of school, but there's rarely any harm in trying if you're professional about it.

smart

In this market, just take it. You could negotiate at the edges (signing bonus, etc), if you feel you have established enough rapport and are definitively wanted

You don’t, take the highest offer, and enjoy getting paid the same as your starting cohort.

Hi ! I have gotten an offer via email for what I believe is level 9 data visualization specialist in the dc area. I have a masters and 3.5 years of consulting experience. I’ve gotten an initial offer and trying to get some context on what the range is for this and whether I should push for more or accept. It is 5,000 above what I said my minimum was, but is significantly more than my current salary. Thanks for any input :)
