as a hiring manager, I never want to pay someone too little. training an engineer and getting them productive takes months, and having someone I hire cut out on a job after 3 months because they got a better offer is a huge waste of time and money. Plus, re-opening the req and re-starting the recruiting process can take weeks. It's totally not worth it to lowball someone.
If I ever ask a candidate what they're looking to make, it's to make sure I can out-bid other offers.
