Hi everyone,
I have been working at IBM NYC office as a Co/Op Software Developer intern since September 2019 and recently got an offer to join as a Full-Time software developer. Before interning at IBM, I have worked as an intern at a finTech firm as a web developer for a year and also worked at a known Media company for a few months as a Developer Intern. This is a little bit of my background.
The offer that I received from IBM is $95k yearly plus a $10k signing bonus which seems like an average in NYC location for new grads at IBM. However, since I have been already working with IBM for 7 months and had prior industry experience through my internships, I really believe that I should start a small negotiation to get my yearly salary to at least around $100k, considering the current living cost in NYC. What tips would you guys recommend me to start a negotiation before I sign my offer letter? Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thank you so much. #ibm #newgrad #offer #nyc

I got no raises during my time and did meaningless work. I've been given 2 lay off notices. During my 1st lay off notice, I jumped from my initial pointless dev role to another pointless dev role. When I got my 2nd lay off notice, I didn't even bother looking for another role internally.
Maybe I'm biased because I got super unlucky at IBM but I highly recommend you get something else. If IBM is your only option, take it but don't have any intentions of staying more than 1 year.
