This might sound so basic that it's obvious but i need to write it just in case there's another "young me" out there reading.

Do not trick yourself into accepting a lower offer or avoiding negotiations thinking that you will discuss a good raise at your first perf review. You're only making excuses.

You will find out it's extremely harder to get the raise you want once you're in the job. There's no easier moment to talk about salary than before you sign the contract. Do yourself a favour and ask for the right compensation.
