Depends. Why stoop to someone elses salary when (and thats IF you are good enough) you are better then the majority. I'd gauge yourself against a few other people, see if you are worth the extra money then sell it to them in the interview if they have questions. Obviously dont get greey like John has said, but if you are worth it, and believe you are, id go in with a bit of cofidence (but not cocky :P).

Too many people get caught up on this 'global recession'. No TV,net,radio would equal no heresay about being mindfull spending money.
