I think the 20% rule is a good one, but ultimately I think its best to defer
conversations about expected salary (especially if you're still in the
HR/pre-screening bit of an interview, and not the technical bits yet)
because, well, you're just going to low ball yourself.  Interviewing while
employed is flirting: no need to lay your junk out on the first "hello"

In terms of moonlighting or side-jobs as an independent contractor, the best
advice I've heard is to figure out your hourly rate the same way high-priced
lawyers do it:

1) Decide how much money you want per week.

2) Decide how many hours you want to work per week.

3) Divide 1 by 2.

don't forget to add a fudge factor for the fact that you may not end up working all the hours you are willing to, but you still need to pay the rent.
