As a headhunter in my previous life, the guy who speaks first loses. Make them say a number......then don't knee jerk react. Thank them and ask for a little time to consider - perhaps set a time to speak again. Consider what they've offered and decide if you should push for more or are happy to be back!!!
Good Luck!
this is good input.
the other thing is to put off salary as long as possible.... make sure that they are totally sold on YOU as the ideal candidate. You don't want to be talking salary when they're still lukewarm on you. You want to talk salary as the final step once they believe that you're the messiah.
