I've got 3 years of IT experience. The job is in Saskatchewan Canada. I was going to ask for $40k/year.

Too low, too high?

That's so funny. I've never heard a joke about the worth of the Canadian dollar. You must be a comedic genius.

When they ask you what you would expect for a salary, ask them to give you a range for the salary. One you know from the web site what a good range is and you know if you are getting lowballed.

The first one to give a range on salary, loses.

Not nearly as comedic as you, with your dry, sarcastic humor. I'm such a slut for wit.
 
I'm a Net Admin making about 35k / year in the US.

I can do everything in that job description. I also work for a non-profit who doesn't pay the best so I know my skills are worth more. 40k is defintly reasonable.
 
It really depends on the company. I've seen jobs posted here in the US that range from 35k - 60k.

Shoot hi, tell them that you are negotiable. Or, just ask them what the range is that they are looking to hire within.
 
Whichever one of these figures given is true, doesn't much matter regardless. I would say no, they aren't paying you enough. But maybe its diff in canada
 
I don't know what the economy is out there...so I'm going to say ask for the "ballpark" of 45k, which you need to emphasize is not a hard figure, and would be influenced by their benefits package. This gives a number but at the same time lets them know they can lowball if you need to, and yet at the same time lets them know that if their benefits suck you may want more.

When in doubt, ask for more. If a client thinks you're not worth much, they will offer less. If you ask for too little they'll know YOU know you're not worth much. If you overshoot what they were thinking they can always offer less, but they're never going to offer you more.
