Bo, read the game industry Salary Survey at
http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20040211/olsen_01.shtml
If you have to register to access that site, DO IT.
You do not have any bargaining power. They'll make you an offer. TAKE IT.
You can always "bargain" with the next employer.

Good luck getting the job - Tom
