Just got matched for NYC. Getting offer soon, I don't have any competing offers as of now. How concerned should I be about getting low balled? And is it possible to negotiate an offer a bit without competing offers?

TC: 160k
YOE: < 1

      OP
      Definitely worth giving it a shot. Thus far no one questioned me on why I'm jumping ship so early. And it hasn't seemed to prevent from being able to jump

  • You are technically new grad with < 1 YOE. Why would you worry about lowballing? New grad packages are pretty standard

    Apparently Google requires screenshots of offers to negotiate, but most companies refuse to give written offers unless you verbally accept for exactly this reason. So, you could try telling a white lie if they lowball. But also, you got an offer at Google at < 1 YOE and that's setting you up for life so I'd just accept it even if they low-ball.
