They asked my salary range, what should I say? - 9 weeks in

A recruiter asked for my salary expectations on a first call as I look for work as a bookkeeper. I do not want to price myself out. Does giving a range hurt?

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

I gave a range based on local postings and said I was flexible depending on the whole package. They did not push back.
