Salary information is part of the negotiation for the job. Learn to negotiate and how to answer the question without answering the question. Read "Ask The Headhunter's" articles/columns on salary negotiation for some background information. If you say too large of number, you won't be hired.

If they say no, then I ask if we can continue to see if I fit. This did not always work well. Someone on HN posted the link to the Noel Smith-Wenkle method which is a better method and it works well, I've used it more than once effectively. http://infohost.nmt.edu/~shipman/org/noel.html http://infohost.nmt.edu/~shipman/org/noel.html
