Know what your level of experience commands, both in the market, and at your company. If you ask for peanuts then many companies will happily oblige. LinkedIn actually offers a salary tool, where it will list the going wage for a particular position, either in the market, or at your specific company. They crowdsource the information, so there's not a guarantee they have your company. I'd ask for the higher end of the spectrum, as they likely won't see you as out of the park, and be willing to counter, assuming they don't accept right off the bat.
