I have a final interview for a company in the Bay Area. It’s an entry level role and was told it would be $26. I have spoken to other employees and agree with this pay. But other companies pay around $29 for the same role title. Should I negotiate the $29 salary although it’s an entry level role and don’t have any experience?

You should negotiate, it’s always a good idea.

Always negotiate.

Ok, so I have a couple of offers, one kind of lackluster, for the County. The other is for a credit union-I left credit unions a few years ago to join a FinTech supporting credit unions)
I was laid off last month and have had a flurry of interviews…this credit union offer is my favorite so far, I do have another offer I’m waiting for from another tech company which has a much higher salary range, but nothing is written in stone.
Should I counter? The offer is $95k for a project manager.
