What’s the best way for new grads to go about negotiating salary? Also, what tools do you use to get a good analysis of what salary you should be making comparable to the local job market?

If you’re talking about consulting you can’t negotiate salary with any consulting firm. You can’t negotiate salary with any bank or most tech companies either.

All new hires make the same at these type of places

Use Glassdoor to see what salaries employees have reported. You can even filter it to down to city/years of experience to get more granular results. Ask for more than the average. The average for my specific role is far lower than what I make because I gave the recruiter a high initial salary expectation and she agreed with no pushback. Maybe I got lucky, maybe those others lowballed their own value. But ask for more than what you see on Glassdoor if it makes sense

The best way to go about negotiating as a new grad is to get competing offers! That or getting an offer through a previous internship with that company both give you leverage against other new grads
