My private first thought was,if I could answer your question I would get a crystal ball and sell my notions.

I am wondering, are entry level people negotiating salary? I mean, unless you had a specialty and everyone wants you then keep negotiating down to the barest minimum.

You said, the job market is bleak. In an interview you will be up against people willing to undercut co- interviewees. During the interview, it should be about what you can do for the team and less about the monetary reward.( at first) Yes, you should be decisive when asked, but you have to seem to want the company more than you seem to be after a big fat paycheck.

That's all I got.
