Salary expectations: how do you answer? - 6 months and counting

I do not know whether to give a range or ask for theirs. Any experience at all would help. I looked up ranges in Detroit and they vary a lot. How do you research fairly?

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

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
