Be clear that you’re excited about the job, then ask if there’s any flexibility on pay. Keep it calm and collaborative, not demanding, and back it up with your experience or market info. If salary is fixed, see if there’s room with bonuses, PTO, or an earlier review. Better to ask now than regret it 3 months into a low-paying job.
As long as you are polite and clear that you want the job, it usually doesn't come off as not being interested. Good luck!
