But, they will still ask for an expected salary. What if you totally low ball yourself? They are still going to have a wry smile as the offer you the bottom end of your range.
I suppose at some point in time you need to work out what you are worth. I have done the dance recently and was happy they offered me the salary I was on at my now previous employer - to me it was a fair wage and to me (here is the clincher), money isn't everything.
Money isn't everything. Besides salary (and secondary remunerations like retirement benefits and insurance and stuff), things like work environment are even more important. Things that motivate you to deliver quality work.
If you ask me, recruiters should take the money question off the table as early as possible and try to get the best fit for the job. You don't pay a hundred bucks less for a crappy copy machine, then why do it with an even more important resource, your employees?
