What Salary Should I push for in this Interview?

YOu have good qualificatiions for the job, but as a recent grad, no experience to bring to the table. Your commute is not an issue in the negotiation, only your qualifications and ability to perform the work required. I'd say shoot shy of the top but with enough wiggle room for them to counter offer and still end up with a salary you want. I'm thinking ask for 36, so if they counter with 34 you can counrter-cournter with 35 which is reasonable. Remember you can negotiate benefits as well, so if the salary negotiation isn't going as well as you hoped, ask for increased benefits (additional vacation days or other perk)
