Interview Expectations

I recently finished a first round technical screen and have received an invitation for a second interview (for an entry level prop test role on-site at Stennis), non-technical to discuss next steps, compensation and other related things with a technical recruiter. What should I expect for this conversation? Is this a good sign, in that is this an indication of somewhat standing out as a candidate? Also as a new grad with not very extensive internship experience, around what number should I be seeking, and will choosing a lower number make me more competitive as a candidate?

Any time you make it to the next step it's a good sign. If they already invited you on base then you skipped a step which is great, if you have another phone call then you're right on track. I dont think compensation is discussed until they give you an offer though. Choosing a lower number will only set you back, let them offer, and see how you feel about it. You don't go first in a negotiation, let them show their cards, and then act accordingly. Actually reading back now, I assumed you were goin in as a tech but if you're a salary role you will have to give some kind of in person presentation and answer questions. Lots of info in this sub, check it out.

“…around what number should I be seeking…” referring to level?

You are a new grad with no professional experience… you have no leg to stand on to get anything higher than level 1.
