Yes it is important to give them a ballpark range
Human Resources Information Systems Manager (HRIS) - (City withheld for privacy), Colorado, United States
Interviewing is the best time to talk about expectations of salary esspecially when asked. Give them you're real expectations. If they come to you with an offer lower, they will expect that you negotiate higher and will ususally give in. I once got an offer for 80K a year after I told them I was making 80K. I laughed and said "why would I leave my company for the same pay, a place I know and am already familiar with". They asked if they could do anything and I said I guess not, but I would love if we could keep in touch. A month later I called and asked how things were going and that I was still interested. She asked why I didn't accept the first offer and I said I needed at least 10K more, which is exactly the offer I got. So talk about what you want and expect, not what you are making now.
