If a job listing states the compensation ($20/hour), is it still negotiable? How much would you ask for?

Depends on your experience outside of academics and your credentials. In my experience, Entry Level positions rarely budge on comp, as you don’t typically have the experience necessary to leverage for higher comp + benefits package. If it’s your first position after undergrad, I would look more towards other values like company name, growth opportunities, etc. to give you a boost for your next position. IMO at that stage experience > compensation.
