A Question of Negotiation

[wikle]

This is directed towards those folks who are already attorneys. I have been out of law school a few years now. I did a clerkship and then got my very first "real" attorney position. Sadly due to many different problems that position ended back in January. Since then I have been doing a mix of temp jobs

You should always try to see if you can get more. They expect it. Just do it respectfully and make sure they know how committed you will be to the firm once you start.

As a May 2011 grad seeing how many of my classmates cannot find a job, period, I wouldn't haggle over salary unless they're offering you something that's simply ridiculous. There are too many people who would take a really ridiculous salary over the $0 they're getting now. Prove your worth and then negotiate. That's just my two cents.
