I'll be receiving a job offer soon from one of the top 3 and was wondering what your strategies are for determining worth and negotiation points. Fresh BS CS grad, but I'd say I have roughly 4x the work experience of your typical fresh grad at some pretty notable places, the majority of it being pure research in ML and also have a non-profit startup. Is this sort of stuff a negotiation point?
Yes! You're worth whatever they are willing to pay for you. Since you do you have a ton of experience you should be paid more than other new grads.<p>Here are some stats about how much developers are making these days <a href="http://blog.goodsense.io/2013/04/02/are-you-an-underpaid-developer" rel="nofollow">http://blog.goodsense.io/2013/04/02/are-you-an-underpaid-dev...</a>
