As we settle into fall, many of you are certain that you're headed into full-time recruiting. Good luck!



For those of you who've received an offer, congratulations! You may not yet be sure if you're headed into full-time recruiting. Our message this week is a simple reminder that getting an offer is just the first step; make sure you're ready to negotiate for an offer that's the best for you. Remember... all offers are not created equal.

This week, we also wanted to highlight a special section for women and negotiations.

All offers are not created equal!

There are always opportunities to negotiate for a better offer. Even in organizations with lock-step salaries, you always have the means to arrive at a deal that suits your needs just a little better. 

1. Be prepared: start with your classmates and information that you can glean through career services. Look at last years' average salaries and bonuses offered through the career report. Salary.com and PayScale are some other resources to check out, but be sure to test the information from those sites. Leverage your Advisory Board or other areas of your network to ask whether your assumptions about appropriate salary range are correct. Wondering where MBA offers differ? Email us!
