Switching jobs and idk how to negotiate

Im switching jobs and I have no clue about negotiating. The range is $23.50-28.50 (from the company’s HR rep), I saw on Glassdoor the job pays abt $24. So I expect an offer of $24. Idk anything about negotiating tho and I’d like $25 at least. I was thinking of saying “I was hoping for $27” if it’s under $27, so I at least get $25. Any advice? It’s a lucrative field that involves a lot of hours. It’s also entry level so they can train others, so it’s not like they’re dying to have me. I’ve under priced myself twice in this process and don’t want to do it again

How long should I grit my teeth for?

I've done on average 55-hour-weeks in a demanging desktop job since December. I worked all day and all night on wednesday, did not sleep a minute yet did full eight hours the day after. I've sacrificed my social life, my hobbies, my sex life with my bf, and my physical fitness to do good in this job. I've not even reported all my hours to payroll, because I felt some tasks took me too much time to complete and it was my fault for not being fast enough, but I wanted to do them well and carefully anyway. And today I got told I've worked too slow and my managers suspect I'm being lazy and stealing company time. Is this worth suffering for 1 – 1,5 more years to get the CV points? It's a respected company and an alright position, which will be regarded well once i'll apply for…

Give me your best resignation letters you have seen or given.

Preparing mine, and I’m inbetween what to send. Professional, laying it all out there or subject : sorry – body : sorry for your loss, it’s me I quit.

I got offered “a big thank you” for my hard work.

I build some of the world best audio transducers. Today we had a company meeting. We were told the last month was the busiest ever in company history. We were told we all deserve a big thank you. I’ve been told by multiple people that my hard work is going noticed and people/engineers are coming to me and telling me they’ve heard how diligent I am. This is an extremely detailed job with tons of memorization. The highest quality is checked every step of the way. I get paid same as a fast food worker during record company profits. I have multiple degrees. I love this job except for the pay. But I’m definitely leaving soon if they don’t pay more.
