My uncle told me to never accept the first offer, and I blew a $12k signing bonus
Back in 2018, my uncle who worked in HR for 30 years said to always counteroffer because companies expect it, but I was so scared of losing the job I just said yes at $55k. Found out later from a coworker who started the same week that the role had a budget up to $67k and she countered right away. Has anyone else regretted not negotiating harder on a first job offer?

Can't believe 84% expect a counter and I just sat there nodding like a bobblehead.
