OMG - Google, Google, Google, search for other similar or closely related jobs and see what they are offering then go a little on the the high side with a window dipping into the "going rate" ie: going rate averages out to 41,000 - put in a range of 40 to 45. My SO just did this and starts tomorrow making almost twice what she was getting + benefits galore! She ended up getting a lot more than she thought the position was going to pay before doing her research. She was originally looking for a position in a range about 10k less than she is now getting! I can't stress enough to do your research and then go for it!
