Negotiating your very first job offer with confidence, even with no experience to point to yet.
A first job offer sets the baseline for every raise and future offer that follows it, but negotiating without years of experience to lean on feels genuinely different — and most negotiation advice isn't written for that situation. This guide is.
Inside: researching realistic starting salary ranges by role, location, and field, using internships, projects, and certifications as leverage instead of experience, exact scripts for the first negotiation conversation, and knowing what's reasonable to ask for as a new grad versus overreaching. A closing guide for this series.
Includes quick-reference cheat sheets and tool/template checklists (print version), AI-powered prompts at the end of every chapter, and clickable links to Claude and ChatGPT in the digital version. Available in print (8.5×11, binder-ready) and digital (6×9, phone-optimized) formats. Instant download after purchase.
