What is your salary expectation? Interview question ER at BB

Have been interviewing for an equity research role at a BB and wondering what's the salary I should expect/ask for? I see on glassdoor for an ER analyst it's about 92k. When asked this question in my next round or when I speak with the hiring manager which is after the next round I was told, is 92k right? Don't want to ask for this much and have them be turned off. Or ask for too little. Any advice? Whats salary like for first year equity research analyst at a BB?
