Salary Negotiation:

[Schneed10]

I'll kind of echo some of the other things said here. While you want to give an idea of what you're seeking, you don't want to get pinned down. Leaving it open is key, it puts the ball in their court to offer you a salary they think you'll like. Tell them what you want and what you think you're worth by giving a range. I think as long as you say something within the $40 - $55K you found, you won't be pricing yourself out of the market.

Whatever they end up offering you, ask for 5% more. The worst they can say is no, our offer is take it or leave it.
