Depend On Research, Not Guesswork
Research is key to any work you perform and there is no second thought to it. Instead of asking what your friends think about your pay, it’s much better to do some intense Googling or research. 
Since there is a well defined salary range for every job, you need to understand how much an employer is willing to pay for a job that you have applied. So in order to easily calculate the salary by knowing how much your skills are worth and how much similar jobs pay in that particular region, you can get on to research sites like Salary.com, Payscale.com, monster.com, and host of others. After this you can determine the right amount that will not seem unreasonable to the recruiter.
