I think there are a few edge cases where you can disclose your salary, like if you're on the high end because you've been at a company for a long time, and don't expect to get that much elsewhere, you can tell them, and also tell them you're flexible. However, if you're looking to move up, don't tell anyone. Let them give you a number, and you can then choose to negotiate. If you're getting 110 now and want to move to 120, but they offer 80, obviously this isn't a good fit, even if they could be convinced to go higher. When a recruiter calls you, demand two things before spending time on an interview (even a phone one). Salary expecations, and details about the team, like the manager's name, or the specific product, or something. This will weed out the recruiters who just scan public job listings, and let you deal with the ones who are actually doing their job and playing matchmaker. It will save you a ton of time and stress.
