Definitely request a higher step. I think they have to offer step 1 first, and then it’s up to you to negotiate. I swung for the fences when I got offered GS-14 step 1. I asked for step 10 and got 6 (and eventually accepted a GS-15 step 1 gig).

Also are you sure you don’t qualify for a higher grade? Usually once you have 2 years of experience you should qualify for GS-13 at least. And I got my GS-15 offer as a fourth year associate
