What is making you feel guilty? There is nothing wrong with making the best career choice for you. Yes, a lot of people are struggling right now, but you getting an extra 5% isn't going to change that.
Don't feel guilty, You are the best advocate for your income. Hope you get more.
Being employed is literally the best position to negotiate from because you don't NEED to accept their offer. If they say no, you keep your current job. There's no downside to asking for more, and zero reason to feel guilty for doing so.

Oh yeah, that's completely normal, the imposter syndrome mixed with gratitude guilt is a killer combo during job hunts. You're sitting there thinking "I already have a job, who am I to push for more?" while the recruiter is literally doing their job trying to hire you as cheaply as possible. It's wild how we internalize that "be thankful you even got the interview" vibe, but companies sure don't feel guilty lowballing.
