    I have been out of work for 9 weeks and feel pressure to accept less. Thank you in advance. I do not want to price myself out. Does giving a range hurt?

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

    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.
