We recently teamed up with NerdWallet to survey 700 employers and 8,000 students and new grads across the US on salary negotiation.

Employers overwhelmingly expect students to negotiate, and over 90% said they’d never retract an offer because a candidate attempted to negotiate. That’s why it’s always worth asking.
