Need advice, dont wanna price myself out of a job.

So a quick TLDR of my background. I owned and operated a commercial drywall company with my dad for a long time until he unfortunately got cancer and decided to sell the company... which he rightfully did and he is very much enjoying retirement. Only thing is he was very "old school" and for all my management and estimating experience he and I were at salary for $25/hr. Because of the "well you'll appreciate this when I give the company to you and you want to retire". Which I get but then he sold and I didnt get a dime (Knowing him it will be inheritance money, he thinks far ahead like that). So Ive basically had a year off from management and have been working as a journeyman for hourly wage but am moving soon and have been offered a project manager position for a company out of the east coast doing drywall subcontracting again...

Sooooo my question is basically for a ~$250mil company out of the east coast doing project management what is a salary I should ask for? I've gone through three preliminary interviews and have a face to face with them in two weeks and I was going to ask for ~$60k-$65k a year. Is that too much? Too little? What would be an appropriate amount to ask for?

thanks for all input and good luck on all your projects in 2019!

The $2.2 billion toll highway, an extension of N.C. 540, would complete the southern portion of an expressway outer loop. The construction contract for the first phase was awarded in December , and the N.C. Division of Water Quality recently issued an environmental permit for the project. The Southern Environmental Law Center , along with other environmental groups, is petitioning for an administrative hearing to challenge the environmental permit. The SELC says the proposed highway would “tear through 57,000 linear feet of streams and 70 acres of wetlands.” The groups are also concerned about increased stormwater runoff from the additional pavement from the highway, as well as more greenhouse em...
