Job Offer Negotiation & Money Management

Are you ready to negotiate your first job offer or salary? Don’t let the process intimidate you—confidence starts with preparation. Understanding the key phases of negotiation—before, during, and after—can help you effectively advocate for yourself and secure a fair offer.

Mastering negotiation is an essential skill as you transition from college to your career. From researching market salaries to communicating your value, the ability to negotiate sets the foundation for your professional growth and financial future.

Job Market DataIn partnership withLightcast logo

Are you looking to use real-time job market data to make informed decisions about your future career path, explore relevant salary data, or identify the skills you need to build or market to get your next role? Use the following tool to explore your options.

There are two ways to navigate this tool:

  1. Keyword Search: Search for the title of the job you’re looking to pursue, or skills you may have that could be relevant for a particular career path.
  2. Narrow Down by Industry + Occupation: If you have a general sense of the industry you’d like to pursue, you can narrow down the occupations within a given industry to help you decide.

First, choose an industry of interest, then filter for occupation. (If you'd like to see data for a specific location only, filter by state.)

Type in a keyword to select a relevant occupation. (If you'd like to see data for a specific location only, filter by state.)
