+1 for Fearless Salary Negotiation. I read it when interviewing 3 years ago and used a variation of one of the email scripts to negotiate a ~25% increase from first offer. Also, I don't personally recommend talking about salary expectations until after you have an offer in hand. Focus on the value you're bringing to the table and your fit for the position, and let the company make the first move in terms of putting a number out there. Also, never, ever answer the "what are your salary expectations?" question from recruiters. You're automatically limiting yourself.
