Great answer. No matter what the job is, do everything you can to avoid giving a number.anon168 wrote:"I would like something that is competitive with the peers in your market, but am willing to be flexible due to my significant interest in your firm."CPIII wrote:Any thoughts?

Re: What to Answer when Asked for Salary Range
The right approach is to avoid giving a number. This is a question with no correct answer -- a small number sounds desperate and a big number will not get you the job. Just say you don't have anything specific in mind and as long as it is within market range (whatever that is) you'll be ok. Let them make an offer and then think about whether you like it.

Tell them to give you a number. Then quadruple it.
