Negotiate
Everything
Graduating into a recession oftentimes results in
lower-than-market-value first-job salaries.
Studies have shown that a low entry-level salary
can fundamentally reduce your income over time.
Consequently, make it your habit to perfect your salary
negotiation skills and always, but always, negotiate!
Think About
Supplementary
Income
Graduating into a recession may force you to be
resourceful and creative with the ways you generate
income if you hope to "catch up".
Look to leverage your strengths and knowledge to
develop side hustles, apply to paid micro-internships
and gigs and do not be too proud to do basic jobs in
order to supplement your income.
