Thanks Dwight, that was a good read. I got bit in the rear end by the "don't offer up a salary range" the last offer I got. He of course took the lowest end of that and ran with it.

How'd I do?

Phone inteview: They asked what salary range I was looking for, I said I'd rather leave that to the employer. Maybe not range just what salary I can't remember now.

Her: "What salary range are you looking for?"
Me: "I don't really feel qualified to put a salary range on a job, so I'd like to see what you'd offer."
Her: "Well we really don't want to waste anyone's time, ours or yours."
Me: "I don't think any offer is ever a waste of time."
Her: "OK, so you're open to negotiating."
Me: "I am, yes."

Was the gist of it. Then we moved on.
