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

Hey /r/construction!

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!

Toro unveils ‘first of its kind’ Dingo TXL 2000, a stand-on loader with extendable arms

Telescoping arms with a wide reach and a doubled load capacity are key features of Toro’s new Dingo TXL 2000, which is in development. A new compact utility loader in development by Toro was the talk of the American Rental Association show in New Orleans, with passers-by eying the long reach of the vertical telescoping loader arms on the Dingo TXL 2000. The gleaming red prototype represented this model’s debut, and plenty of dealers and contractors got a peek of what’s to come with this machine, which is the first of its kind, according to Toro. “This machine won’t be out until the late part of 2018, and why we’re introducing it here is because it’s our 20-year anniversary of the Dingo product line,” Kevin Conry, senior marketing manager at Toro Siteworks in Bloomington, Minnesota, had explained during the show held February 19-21.
