College Grad Negotiating Starting Salaries
I was talking with a new acquaintance over the New Year's holiday and she was amazed at how many stories she's hearing about recent college graduates who are negotiating their starting salaries. Given the tightening labor market, I'm actually amazed that more aren't. When I'm hiring people, I want them to negotiate. If they don't, I question if they're going to be pushovers for the clients or vendors they're going to be dealing with.
What's been your experience?

It would be so wonderful to have you working for me, but I know that I could never afford you. :)
