<prompt> Human: Im a newly graduated biomedical engineer interviewing at multiple companies. I just received an offer with good benefits, however i feel the salary is low at 54,000. Entry level engineers nationwide on average make 60,000, and in my area this is even higher, near 70,000. My college provided me with internship experience so I have a year in industry. I also have good academic credentials and graduated with honors. How do I negotiate up from here? How much is too much? Do i risk losing the job by negotiating? Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated.  <response>: Also be sure to ask how when raises are given. Do not assume anything. Some places only give everyone an annual 3 increase. If thats the case, you need to get as much as you can now.
