Salary expectations: how do you answer? - 20 weeks in

I have been out of work for 20 weeks and feel pressure to accept less. It has been weighing on me all week. I do not want to price myself out. What did you say?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Check several sources for pay in Columbus, then pick a range where the low end is one you can live with.
