Good point glatt.

I do worry that people miss opportunities for a little more money because they're afraid of being looked down upon for daring to ask for more. At entry level often you know the pay from the beginning.

If you are in any position to negotiate, do so. Sometimes, too, it's all about getting your foot in the door. My initial salary in this business was pathetic and sad...entry level, but almost 9 years later, after promotions and negotiations and finally a job change, I have the pull to ask for more.
