<prompt> Human: Hi!My current situation is this- I have worked within the same hospital in Philadelphia in administrative support for 2.5 years, right out of undergrad, with an increasing level of responsibility without pay increase and have looked elsewhere within the hospital for similar positions for a lateral move. So many variables as to why that was my choice, but after interviewing I was presented with a position as an Operations and Compliance Manager for the new department. The interviews went great, and Im expecting an offer within the week. Just for reference, I have a Masters degree in health administration and a Bachelors in health sciencesbusiness management with strong connections throughout the hospital and a good rapport with my current managers and directors. Ive never negotiated a salary before as I blindly accepted the offer for the administrative support role at a much lower rate than I should have college grad desperate for work. The research Ive done on these positions is misleading as on glassdoor salary ranges fall between 50-60k, but other sites list similar positions as in the range of 80-90k, depending upon experience. Both ranges would be significant increases from my current 35k salary, so there is truly no loss but I do not want to undervalue myself. Unfortunately, the salary ranges were not discussed during the interviews, so Im a bit in the dark for the most part. Any advice on what steps to take or what to expect? Thanks!!!  <response>: remember...the person sitting in front of you during the interview is never the person who can approve an increase. Your goal is to simply come up with reason why you deserve it...commute, large committment, move...etc etc...and try to get them to agree to take it back to their manager and see if there is any room for increase.
