State your salary needs honestly, and then stick with what you said - The Boston Globe: "State your salary needs honestly, and then stick with what you said

Q. I know I should know this, but I am always baffled how to respond when an interviewer asks me what salary I am looking for. I want to stay open but I am at a fairly high level in the not-for-profit sector and frankly, I couldn't accept anything under $60,000. I couldn't live on anything less. How should I respond when I am asked what salary I am looking for? I have been working for nonprofits for almost 20 years."
