MS in sports admin. I don't think I'm coming into apps/interviews with unrealistic expectations. I'm just not sure if I'm pricing myself out or making them feel like they are bidding against themselves.

I haven't had a bunch of feedback, just trying to educate myself and be prepared for that negotiation.

Accept whatever position is even remotely related to sports. You need to get your foot in the door and get experience. It's expected you will make vertical moves down the road. You bring no value at this point and are barely a step above the concession stand workers. Take a job that involves a desk and possibly a computer and grind it out and soak everything up until another opportunity arises.

It's your first job! You shoykdnt really get a chance to negotiate or a company shouldn't. I've never known anyone who negotiated their first job. You're an unknown quality with limited experience whether you realize it or not. Any first time hire is a gamble. As soon as you put yourself in the mindset of a company, you'll be able to sell yourself better.

Why are you discussing money prior to an offer? That could be an issue. I'm still not sure what you mean though. Are you discussing salary in the interview or before, asking what the jobs pays, or turning down offers after trying to negotiate?
