This can be a tricky question to answer. You could talk your way out of a job if your expectation is too high or give the impression you don't have the qualifications if your expectation is too low. Always do your homework to see what the average salary is as a Psychiatric Technician in your area. Feel free to flip the tables and ask the interviewer what the salary range is.
