Typical advice in salary negotiation books is also to not be the first to state a number. Try putting in "competitive * " or something like that, and then later put * based on my skills and experience, or at least that's their advice.
- T-R 15y agoThere's been a bit of backlash against that, though - while it does set an upper bound on the negotiation, it also couches the range of the whole negotiation (i.e. the other side is unlikely to make a significantly lower counter-offer, since their perception of a reasonable counter-offer is based on the initial offer). Still, the typical advice is probably pretty solid for situations where you don't know where to start.
