Thanks for all the tips guys. I'm a complete n00b to this so everything is being listened to and considered for sure.
I agree with the sentiment that since it is a Junior position and I don't even have that much experience specifically related to the position, that I should take what I get. I guess the main goal of my post was to find out
how to negotiate the job offer and whether or not simply being this far in the process with another company is good enough leverage to usurp the fact that I might not have that much experience for this specific role.
Any way, an offer did come in earlier today, and the recruiter said the company was offering the maximum they are willing to give... not sure if she's lying or being honest with me though...
The offer is a little higher than the average I found online for the position, so she's probably telling the truth.

You also don;t want to start somewhere being less valuable than other people and being paid $20k more than them.

I'm assuming you're talking about me fotze? If so, no, I just graduated this past December and all my prior experience was through CO-OP, although I also worked part-time during the school years in engineering positions as well. My first job out of university is the one I'm currently at now, which I started in February.

You still work Axel? Shouldn't the elderly retire when they pass 80 and give us young cats your jobs?
