Negotiating your salary is better for you.
1000000% agree with this. My first job, right out of college, I got an offer which was fine, and I had no problem with the amount. But, I asked for more, because why not? And got 15% more just from asking.
Always. Negotiate.
A pretty good summary of my "Why you should always negotiate" speech.
"Because why not?"
I love it.
If they'll make you an offer, they'll make at least one counter-offer.
