That is an interesting thought. I have never heard that but
it makes
since. I wonder if there is a geographic rule to apply to
that question?
Or maybe on a job type issue. Like if it were McDonalds you
would put a
low figure, if a small store management then my reasoning,
but a high
paying IT job or corp job your reasoning? Man applying for a
job is too
hard anymore.
Well to the poster with the question, I do not know if I did
gave good
advice or not, hum lets see who else comments further on
this.

I was alway taught that this question is sort of a game
where the first
one to mention a dollar figure loses. We were always told to
respond
with something like "The amount of my salary is not as
important as the
overall compensation package and work environment", the
idea being to
get the interviewer to mention a salary figure first.
