What jobs are currently paying 85k?
I was just offered a CUNY role. The title is Higher Education Assistant. According to Glassdoor, the average annual pay for that role is $83,418. However, I was offered $62,500. I requested for the minimum annual salary to be 75k. Does anyone have experience navigating the CUNY system and their pay?

As a former office coordinator for a therapy clinic, who was offered 20$ and negotiated to 22$ an hour, I don’t think you misspoke. I think that’s a fair rate for that position, especially for the amount of experience you have. Employers are always going to seem put off when you try to negotiate rate, which is so annoying, but I guess that’s part of the game.

Because it’s a smaller office they care about who they will end up hiring as a coordinator (smaller offices usually need strong personality fits as they can’t risk having someone who they don’t get along with and going through recruiting all over again), and they also care about budgets more than midsized or big companies. Obviously it all depends on how much it cuts into the already smaller profits, but also how much other candidates are willing to take for it. Experience years don’t matter as much after a certain point for this type of position. A good 5-10 years is preferred but beyond that it starts being seen as redundant and could be done by anyone within that range that is okay with being paid less.
Hopefully they are able to move beyond their $19 minimum and consider something in the $21-$22 range, because frankly anywhere in the country regardless of cost of living areas, that should be the absolute minimum base for a coordinator position. $19 is already seen as too low even as a minimum wage for more than half the states, and certainly an office role should not be paid minimum wage. Normally it should be somewhere in the $27-$35 range for a coordinator depending on how expensive an area is, but as we know most wages have not kept up with the times so $22 is reasonable given the current situation.
No, you were right to answer honestly about your walkaway rate ($22/hour). Was there a maximum salary listed on the job description? If there was (and it's less than $22/hour), I wouldn't have tried to negotiate above it. In general, I think next time you could do some research on salaries (you could use Glassdoor: https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/index.htm), factor in your experience, and offer a range, rather than a number, if you're asked about your salary expectations: [Walkaway rate] - [Your ideal pay rate]. I hope the offer works out!
You did not misspeak. Your experience is worth the pay.
As others have mentioned. You were right for asking for what you think you are with based on experience.
