3. You will *never* have a better opportunity to get a massive raise than when you first join a company. Once you're at a company, you will have to live within the system of annual adjustments. Extra compensation you negotiate coming in forms the basis of all future raises and bonuses, and it's extremely important to maximize.
Very true, I've changed jobs 3 times and got a pay rise 3 times. Once I've started the job, that's been it. Other than inflation-related rises that everybody else in the company gets too, I'm still on the same money as I was when I started in 2005, and this year we won't even be getting that.
