Negotiate an Offer

Receiving a job or internship offer is both exciting and stressful, since this stage involves narrowing choices and making decisions. When deciding whether to accept a job or internship, you may want to consider the role, all components of the compensation package including benefits, the skills you will learn and use, and how the position will impact your future goals and next steps. Our advisors are happy to help you think through your options and assess an offer in light of your broader future goals.
