Awesome thanks for confirming! I’ve had consulting companies ask me for an estimate during a phone screening so that threw me off since I wasn’t expecting that question. Thanks again!

Here’s a number with absolutely zero context: 175k. Pad whatever you actually want by 20%.

I feel like you should have researched this before an hour before your interview

Don't give the number first, let them come to you with a number.
