I did. Or at least I think I did. First declined offer was from a company that offered me less than half of my proposed expectation.

Second and current company I work for won the negotiations before they even started talking. I still made the same demand for my salary but agreed on a mutual fee not far from it. For a first job, I had a challenge of not sounding ridiculous but also nmaking sure that I ask for what I believe I'm worth and sticking to it.
