They asked my salary range, what should I say?, line cook here

I do not know whether to give a range or ask for theirs. There are 16 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I looked up ranges in Albuquerque and they vary a lot. Does giving a range hurt?

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

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