Salary expectations: how do you answer? - what worked for you?

I do not know whether to give a range or ask for theirs. It has been a long 6 weeks. I also do not want to sell myself short.

Benefits matter too. A slightly lower rate with better coverage was better for me.

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.
