Asking about salary is not the same as trying to negotiate a higher salary. Students can negotiate co-op or WIL salaries after a job offer or match, but it’s important to note that negotiating involves some risk. Some employers may not expect salary negotiations when hiring for co-op jobs since the pay rate is already in the job posting. Typically, co-op/WIL employers have a set amount they pay students and most are unable to adjust this amount. It is possible that some employers may rescind offers based on negotiations that they feel are demanding or unrealistic based on the company’s salary structure. |
