Lots of great advice here I would just add to do your research and know what your skills are worth and what others in similar positions are being paid.  I would not add that you&#x27;re flexible right off.  As someone that hires people I prefer people that confidently tell me what they&#x27;re worth and what they expect.  Most hiring managers will go for the low number once they see you&#x27;re nervous or immediately offer that you are willing to negotiate after naming a number.  It really is best to have a number - definitely higher than you will settle for but not so high that it puts you out of the consideration set.
