Great answer. No matter what the job is, do everything you can to avoid giving a number.

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.

tell them to give you a number (more precisely, wait for them to make you an offer), then add 10%
