Always negotiate your salary. I have gotten 10% higher starting salaries a half dozen times in my career simply by asking. My first full time junior programming job offered $50k, I countered with $60k and we met in the middle at $55k, a 10% increase. The next job I negotiated $58k to $70k. The hardest part is just being ballsy enough to ask.
