Georgia Tech grad with job offer worries - any negotiation advice?

[ReedAttendee]

I'm feeling frustrated with my academic issues, especially with the upcoming clinical rotations, certification exams, and the challenge of applying what I've learned practically. It's a lot to handle, especially when you're trying to stay on top of your game both academically and athletically. Speaking of challenges, I recently came across a thread about a Georgia Tech grad who's stressing about negotiating a job offer.

Since graduation is just around the corner for me, I can totaly relate to that anxiety. Does anyone here have experience negotiating job offers post-graduation? Any tips specific to Georgia colleges and employers? On a personal note, balancing academics and being an athlete has its ups and downs. But hey, it's all part of the journey, right?

Looking forward to hearing from y'all about your experiences! Let's support each other through these college struggles together.

GT career center is actually great for this. They have mock interviews and negotiation workshops. Also, talk to alumni in your field—Georgia companies love hiring GT grads and will often be flexible if you ask professionally. Frame it as "I'm excited about this role and want to make it work long-term, can we discuss the compensation package?" Not "give me more money or I walk." Be chill.
