Re: Salary Negotiation:

Figure out what you really want and go about 2- 3 thousand higher. That way there's room for negotiation if it gets to that point. No matter how much you love the job, if you start and find out you make significantly less than your peers, you're going to be miserable in pretty short order. Don't assume that they are going to be all that hesitant to pay a decent salary. I lucked out though with my current position, I had done research and someone in my position in Central PA with my level of experience usuallly makes about 35-45k. I asked for 45 and got 55. I have no idea how that worked out to this day... The point is, don't let it stress you out, these things have a way of working themselves out.
