Short answer: No.

Long answer: You have no bargaining chips and nothing to win other than a couple of extra bucks. Don't be greedy, take the low paying job and wait a year. After that, you can reassess your situation by checking other offers and either asking for a raise or leaving the company for a more lucrative position.

Experience is what pays, you have none. Don't kneecap yourself, everyone starts with a shit salary.

As someone who hired people like you: nope. Unless you have multiple offers to choose from, you have a special skill, or there has been an opening for a long time and it seems likely that there are no other suitable applicants. They are taking a risk with you because you haven't proven yourself yet as a productive employee. As yourself this: can they get someone more qualified of someone similarly qualified that doesn't ask for more?

First get the job, you can always negotiate a higher salary later. Your bargaining position will be better then.

Check where you are relative to the market, if the offer is low, negotiate.

How do you determine where you are relative to the market?

well I don't know your gender for sure, so I'm not sure that I should say anymore... how else to us men keep our $0.23 bonus!!

But since this is voat and we have no women here: lots of sites have it.

I just checked on glass door: you can punch in the job title and market that your are in and they'll give you a reasonable estimate. Remember that salary is only one aspect of compensation. Think about vacation time, work hours, commute, and other benefits. (eg, are you willing to take $5000k/year less for a stock option worth $5000? the answer depends on your financial position and confidence in the company. hint - no matter what your confidence is, diversify when you can!!)
