I am interviewing with a company where they are offering $65K/year in NYC for an analyst (junior level) role. The senior analyst position is $85K/year. These salaries seem extremely low for NYC (although I'm not from NYC or even the US). What would be an appropriate salary to ask for for a junior analyst role? It involves financial modelling. I want this kind of job but I also want to be able to live without too much stress.

Not even a company health plan, 401k, or stock options? Damn, that’s pretty slim. Are you 1099 or W-2?

Not sure what that means but yeah, no health plan or stock options. There's a 401K with some matching. It's just the salary with the bonus.

1099 and W-2 are your tax status with the company— 1099 is contract employment, W2/W4 is full-time. Full-time employees are required to be given health insurance by their employer. It’s the law.

Yeah, your benefits package is pretty terrible. I’d push for more, especially considering that you’ll be paying out-of-pocket for your health insurance.

hmm maybe there is health insurance but it wasnt mentioned during the initial call. i ask for compensation of 90-100K, said it was negotiable and expect it will be negotiated down, at least it wont be 65K.
