They asked my salary range, what should I say? - 12 months and counting

I have been out of work for 11 weeks and feel pressure to accept less. I looked up ranges in Albuquerque and they vary a lot. What did you say?

Asking about the range for the role first worked for me. Some recruiters share it.

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