<prompt> Human: I have been working for 1 year and 5 months as an internco-op at an environmental company for 18hr about 37kyr My boss recently applied to another position Management position with the company and got the job. She will be starting this position in two months. Over these two months, she will be closing out projects and transitioning me training me more to have me take over her current job as a Data Analyst. Overall, everyone is happy with my work and have stated that I have been very helpful in the departmentcompany This is a big environmental company with 80000 employees worldwide. I have previously met with my boss, the director and HR to talk about being a full time, regular employee, and they are open to the idea. I dont know how much money and what to negotiate. However, I know that she started out making 65000year and she is an exempt worker. I know this because I found her offer letter from 2010 on an unsecured folder on the network. Here is a general overview of what it said: Starting salary rate: 65000. Benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401k, 2 weeks 80hrs vacation, participation in a Short Term Incentive Plan STIP which provides which provides a cash incentive opportunity of 5 base salary 3250 for performance results and attainment of business objectives. So, my question, how high do I negotiate when I get an offer from the company or should I not even negotiate and choose a smaller salary since Im obviously less experienced? EDIT: Some more details about me. I am a 24 year old male and this internship is the only experience that I have working in an office setting. Everything else is irrelevant to the position. I also have a B.A. in Sociology and am currently doing a M.S. in Statistics.  <response>: You could use it as a guide for guessing at a good salary range, but dont mention the letter.
