Salary expectations for an Entry-level Power Market analyst?

What would my salary expectations be? If I do some research and if it comes down to X, should I ask for X+10, or X+15? Other than that, any advice on negotiations? This is for a small-medium energy (power) trading shop.

I was making 80k as a gas/power market analyst out of undergrad at a large shop. I wouldn't think you'd have much leverage to negotiate first year out of school. If you have a reason to ask for 5k more, absolutely do so - doesn't hurt to ask.

 

65-70 maybe higher do not try to negotiate for more truly this is just a learning job to trading. You are going to get a shot at trading before lots of people basically on par with doing with S&T at a bank out of school. Lot of small/medium people trade power in those regions the capital needed is low so being small is not necessarily a bad seat.
