How to Negotiate Your First Job Offer Without Experience

Hosts Lucas and Luna tackle one of the biggest anxieties for new grads: negotiating a first job offer when you have zero leverage. Lucas shares a concrete framework from a 2024 study of 2,000 entry-level offers showing that candidates who asked for one specific thing—a signing bonus or a delayed start date for professional development—got a yes 68% of the time. They break down the 'one-ask rule,' how to research comparable offers on Levels.fyi and Glassdoor, and why the biggest mistake is not asking at all. Luna pushes back on the fear of having the offer rescinded, and Lucas explains why hiring managers actually respect a well-reasoned request. #EntryLevelNegotiation #FirstJobOffer #SalaryNegotiation #NewGrad #CareerAdvice #JobSearch #HiringManager #LevelsFyi #Glassdoor #SigningBonus #ProfessionalDevelopment #OfferLetter #JobSeeker #NegotiationSkills #Careers #EntryLevel #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
