Job offer negotiation

bunnyfox7

I just recently got offered a graduate position with a company.. I wonder if I should try to negotiate the salary, or at least look for relocation expenses..
I'm worried they will revoke the offer if I try to re-negotiate... advice?

Honestly...as a struggling graduate myself, I would accept what they are offering, get into the company, prove yourself, and when your review comes up then broach the issue of pay rises. This is what I did in my first graduate role, and after 6 months when my review came up it was a lot easier to bring up pay rises as I had been there and showed I could do the job for six months, and it was successful

No bother, hope it all works out really well for you! That is my opinion anyhow, just get your foot in the door. Ah hopefully will get sorted myself soon, coming from the construction industry so bit of a balls but hey, just gotta keep plugging away. Well done on securing something in this climate, best of luck

questionmark?

This can happen.

Advice above is sound.

If you are good, your salary should eventually reflect that.
