Salary expectations: how do you answer? (Boston)

I do not know whether to give a range or ask for theirs. I am in Boston, in case local advice matters. I do not want to price myself out.

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 3 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
