So, in researching my market value, I keep finding that my actual job description should command more money than I make now -- and, unfortunately, more than employers are offering me based on my lowly title. Is it okay to try and negotiate a higher starting salary? Or should I settle for less money now and try for a raise later, after I've proven what I can do for them? --Bargain-Basement BobWed, 15 Feb 2006 15:05:00 ESThttp://money.cnn.com/2006/01/11/pf/askannie_fortune/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/2006/01/11/pf/askannie_fortune/index.htmFriends, it's that time again, a fresh new year -- which means that just about every human-resources consulting firm, outplacement specialist, salary expert and career guru in sight has come out with brand-new predictions for the 12 months ahead.
