If the interviewer has asked this question, it is a good sign. It means they are considering hiring you for the position.

You want to state that your salary is not a deciding factor and that you are open to a wide range of compensation for the right job. If the interviewer pushes you for a specific number or range, be prepared with statistics on the average salary for the role in your market/region.

"I'm really excited about this opportunity with your company and do not have a specific number in mind since I value the right job over a certain dollar amount. I have done some research though and in this area of the country, the average product manager's salary is 115,000."
