I’ve interviewed for a new position and in the 1st interview I said I’d ask for at least $62K. She said that was in their ballpark (she used the words “well below” as in under what they were prepared to pay). Yesterday I spoke with the DO and decided to suggest $65K. Today she offered $60K. My thought is that I should counteroffer up to the $62 that was discussed to start with. have the certification, know the software, I have experience. I can hit the ground running.
What do you all think?

It's always best to get them to offer some numbers first. But, in the situation you're in, if you need the job, you might consider just accepting the offer. If you think you can counter with 62K without them rescinding the offer, you can try that. But it's only 40 bucks a week, so it may not be worth rocking the boat over that.

i would have said: What do I need to show or do to get to that level? If I accept the 62,what will entitle me to aspire for it? I can actually adapt my output based on the conditions. I need the job first.

Respectful counter offer in the range of discussion always fine

I regret not asking for the range first. :(

In that position, if the job is needed, I would do a soft counter, explaining that you expected the higher amount, but that you would be willing to do $60k with a review in 3 to 6 months for an increase in salary if your performance is as expected or better.

Buddy, just accept the offer. Are you really going to let this opportunity go because of 2k? That's like 1 month's rent BEFORE tax.

This was a little bit expected, as the role is requiring a few years less experience than I have and also in a much cheaper market.

I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.
