"I should range my salary expectations in a range of 130K-150K just to be safe in the zone and not miss out on the job. Is this fair? ... Assuming my rental will be around 2k" 130K would be a bit too much. I know developers who get paid around 100K for a normal development gig at an investment bank. And 2K is also a bit too much for rent. Try to live in Chinatown, or at least Queens - they're definitely less than other parts of the city.
