@Cleo_II Help us out here.

I hate the mind games and back and forth. I cover compensation in the first call and have no problem sharing the range when asked. Id rather know that its worth it to the candidate or not before moving forward and wasting anyones time. If it happens to be a big pay bump for them, I feel really happy I helped get that for them.

As for what to say, you need to do your research and know what the market is offering for the same role and level. Glassdoor, indeed, and other sites will have ranges to look at. Ask your peers. Decide on your range then ask for about $5-10k higher. That gives you wiggle room. Best case they match it, but most likely will meet in the middle and offer what you were actually hoping for. Ideally try and get 2-3 offers so you can come in with more negotiating power.
