Just because I haven't seen quite this language here, thought I'd share. When you get the dreaded question of your salary requirements, be honest with a range. "If I am offered less than X then no. If I'm offered more than Y than yes. If it's something between X and Y then it depends on other job benefits that are available." In my experience, the range answer with hard boundaries gives you a solid answer that doesn't limit your negotiation, and gives you and them a good sense of where you're at.
