A young man identified as Jeffrey Zhang excitedly revealed that despite graduating at the bottom of his class at the University, he got a nice paying job.


A young man, has advised job seekers to always negotiate salaries themselves with their prospective employers as he celebrated getting a job paying him $250k (~N250 million) per month.
The Ivy League school graduate, precisely Cornell University, New York, in a LinkedIn post, revealed that he actually finished the bottom of his class with a CGPA of 2.9.
He however didn’t allow that to make him feel inferior and confidently negotiated his pay with his now employer Oracle where he’d be working as a graduate product manager.
Jeffrey sounded a note of warning to people never to accept the first salary offer given to them.
Sharing his landmark on LinkedIn, he wrote:
I graduated bottom of my class with a 2.9 GPA at Cornell University
Yet I got a $250k job offer from Oracle as a new grad Product Manager.
How did I do it?
I NEGOTIATED!!!
PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT THE 1ST OFFER GIVEN TO YOU!
Go on Glassdoor, Blind, and Reddit, Inc. to see what other people are getting, then ask for 50% more than the highest.
If you don’t believe you’re worth that much, then no one will.
Here is the email I used to negotiate:
