Salary Negotiation

Salary Negotiation
I'm a recent university graduate, and I've received my first permanent job offer. The salary is in the range of $43,000 - $47,000.
Do you recommend I negotiate the salary, or just take it?
I do not want my employer to look negatively at me for negotiating.
I really need to call them today to accept the job, but Ive been thinking for the last couple hours what to do, and I cant decide.

I would take it but I would also talk about a 3 month performance for the 1st review instead of a year. Negotiate an increase at the 3 month review (if you do a good job then you will have some more negotiating power as they can see that you are worth it).
A three month probationary period and a review after that time period is common, just mention the possibility of that to your boss...it cant hurt, even if all else fails and they tell you yearly only, take it...I'm not sure what your field is but the average income for a new grad is in the 40-50K mark (obviously take in consideration what field you graduated in):

You can ask for more. but then they will pick the one who is willing to take less and do the the same job or more. put your self in their shoes. I also forgot to ad that at times. them saying we paying this much. once they decided to hired you they will tell you your starting salary. if they wanna keep you then they will raise it up.

I can't understand the conflicting stories concerning employment prospects that I hear from people who have gone & stayed in (or come back from) Calgary.
Some hit the jackpot & another Jack can't even afford Pot.

Sorry, that was terrible.
