The College Grad Project

Grad let me say this as clearly as possible ,you are allowed to negotiate your salary. Many new graduates accept the first number they are offered because nobody has told them they can ask for more. But that first offer is rarely the best offer and every dollar you leave on the table today is money you are not getting back. You worked four years for that degree. You bring real skills and real value to that role. Go get what you deserve. 💰
