I have an interview for a production manager position in Apparel next week. I am not sure what salary and additional benefits I should ask. The salary range around the metro area is 85k-120k for this position. Can someone give me some advice?

Then ask for the top.

I’d try to avoid answering until they make an offer. Who ever says a number first is the loser in the battle. If you can’t avoid answering the question. Do you have experience? If you have a lot of experience I’d ask for the top. They won’t give it to you but that way they can’t low ball the offer too much. If you have no experience maybe ask for 90-95. So they’ll put you at the low end.

How would you tactfully refuse to answer the salary range question ?

What do you mean by experience in production? You manufacture end-to-end?
Why not start your own clothing line? Just wondering...
