I'm still in school and will need to start looking for a full-time position in the next year or so. So far I've already done two internships and hoping to get another one this summer, do y'all feel like i could use this experience to negotiate for a higher salary and if so how would I go about doing it?

No. Quite frankly what you did on your internship matters less than just the simple fact that you had them. Your experience on those help you get a job, but likely your interviewer won't value it enough to give you any salary leverage.

That said if you're working for a small company you MAY have some room to negotiate, but with a larger company consider that salary locked.

Don't buy into this article. It's just a shock subject line with no real merit. If an analyst applicant tried to haggle on comp, we would just think they were clowns and probably consider taking the offer back.

With that said, smaller firms are more flexible and you can get more if you haggle. However, you shouldn't haggle unless you don't mind getting the offer pulled.
