<prompt> Human: I apologize if this is against the rules, I did see a few posts about salary negotiation here and just wanted some advice. A little about me and the job, I will graduate with a bachelors degree in the coming few weeks, I have an interview this week in person with a company, however Ive already had a phone call and another screening done. Now, the job posting said that this is a 60,000 a year job, however in the phone call they asked me how much salary I would like. I was timid in my approach and instead of stating what the ad posted, I didnt state a number and said the job is more important to me rather than salary, which is still true. He then said it would be around 50,000, and we talked a bit more not about the salary before the call ended.Now for my question, how should I go about negotiating salary for the interview? The job is a solid 90 minutes drive in a urban area, so I was thinking of moving there higher cost of living, and the average starting salary for an undergraduate degree from my university is 52,000. I dont want to sound cocky at the interview, or ask for too much, but I just wanted to ask if theres anything to stay away from, I dont want to jeopardize my chances of getting the job, but at the same time I do want to ask for something closer to what the job posting stated. Id be happy with the salary that they stated, but if Im honest I would like a little more if is possible without sounding...greedy? If thats the right word. Once again, apologies if this post does not belong here, but I could use the advice. Thanks in advance!  <response>: You dont negotiate salary in the interview. First get the job. Then negotiate once you have an offer
