<prompt> Human: First time poster here. I just graduated last month and I recently got an offer to work at a public relations agency for a 43k salary, which is a pretty good entry-level salary for this industry. But I always hear that you should negotiate no matter what, so Ive been pretty torn. Part of me wants to see if I can stretch my luck and get a small bump to a figure around 45k, but I dont have any competing offers and I dont want to come off pushy or ungrateful. Regardless of their answer, Ill most likely still take the job, so do you guys think its a good idea to try my luck or will this be pushing it, since the offer is already good? Thanks for the help!  <response>: I didnt negotiate for my first job out of college, because the pay and benefits made it well worth it. I also didnt have the experience or argument to argue for more. Negotiating for the sake of negotiating doesnt work. You need to have a solid argument to back it up, which you dont have at this point.
