When we hire for entry level positions, there is a set salary. You can ask for more, and we may even give you more if you have some sort of experience in that field that justifies it, but for 99% of the candidates, the starting salary is non-negotiable. But we won't think less of you if you ask for more. Unless you are delusional and ask like 50% more than the going rate. Then we will wonder about you. We'll still hire you for the standard salary, but it won't be a good first impression.

Oh, and salary discussions happen at the time of the job offer.
