Agree with most of this. However I'd say that asking "can you share your range" when appended to your first recommended response can be very powerful. By maki

Agree with most of this. However I'd say that asking "can you share your range" when appended to your first recommended response can be very powerful. By making clear that you don't have enough info about the opportunity to properly value it, but recognizing that they need to qualify you based on their range, you're putting the ball firmly in their court to bring more data to the table. Companies who remain firm about not giving out any info but demanding a salary from you are probably not places you want to work.
