This question is regarding the monetary compensation you're expecting from this job. You have to be smart while answering this, not too desperate, and not too uninformed. State a pay you think is standard and let the negotiation follow.  Example:  I'm expecting somewhere between ABC to XYZ. Given that the standard pay in this category is DEF, I feel that I am qualified enough to receive in that range. I have an intense experience in this domain that has helped me climb ladders and I wish to take it higher from here. For that, this platform will provide me with this opportunity. And if I make it today, I will be utterly grateful.
