How can I negotiate a reasonable starting salary for my first full time job?

The first thing when it comes on to negotiating salary, is knowing the market. What do similar roles at other companies pay in your city? That's a good starting point! Good news is that there is usually room for more once you receive the initial offer. Now I will say, that it can be difficult to accomplish this as a recent grad. To successfully negotiate one should leverage their current experiences or maybe even share their competing offer in hopes that the current company matches or offers higher. One thing to keep in mind is that, salary isn't the only thing that is negotiable. You can negotiate 401k matching, PTO, bonuses, and even telecommuting benefits.
