Its too bad young people don't negotiate more. When your next salary is anchored so heavily on your current salary, a little negotiation early can have such an impact on lifetime earnings.
I don't know where you live, but had my salaries have always been a 'take it or leave it' deal. The only way to get a bigger pay check here in Belgium is by getting a new job.
I'm in the US. I'm not talking about negotiating raises at the same company. The key is when you go looking for that new job, negotiate with the new company. After finding another offer I've had my current company offer $15k extra to keep me and when I didn't want to stay with one company, I've negotiated two new offers to get an extra $10k over my top pick's "absolute max for the position." Negotiating happens when you start a new job and fresh out of college is the perfect time to do it because it's often much easier to get multiple offers at the exact same time and play them off each other.
That's great for you, but for the "young people" coming out of school it's just not the reality. I left school (highest honors, 4 semesters of work experience, stem degree)with 2 offers, both 100% static.
Perhaps people with computer science degrees from the best of the best schools have that luxury, but for the rest of us even an interview in this market is often times asking for too much (and continues to be even over a year out).
