When you take the first offer because negotiating scares you

They slid the offer across the table and I said yes before they even finished talking. The number felt low, but asking for more made my stomach turn, so I just took it. I keep telling myself I should have pushed, and I keep not doing it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You accept whatever you are offered because asking for more scares you too much.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
