It took forever, but I finally received a job offer related to my degree after graduating last May as an operations coordinator. The offer is $50k, but I really need to get that up to $55k. Since we never actually talked about pay during the interviews, would it be crazy to ask for $60K and hope we meet in the middle? I don't want to mess this up.

First express excitement on the offer. Then ask if there is any room for negotiation on the salary - you can email that part, but then have the discussion on the phone with the recruiter to make the ask. Always be grateful and respectful. You got this!

One thing to consider is whether $50k is market for operations coordinator roles in your area. If $55k is justified by data, then asking for it is reasonable. If $60k is above market, it might make them less willing to move at all.

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?
