I exaggerate my current salary, and then say I really like their company and I consider it a lateral move anyway but I’d like at least the same salary. Allows

  No need to do that. Keep your current salary secret and tell them your desired range. Say it depends on the position. Eg 100k to 150k depending on the position and responsibilities. Some will say let the employer say what they’ll offer first. I’ve never got that to work, unless they are upfront enough to put it in the job ad or have their recruiter reveal it. Plus it’s a lot of wasted time for both parties if at the offer stage it’s way too low.
