I find that when speaking to recruiters they typically ask for salary range my strategy has been to flip the question and ask for the salary band for the role. I’ve had about an 98% success. I’m wanting to know if there any other strategies you guys use during negotiations/interviews?

I second taking the amount you want and adding to it. This way negotiation will leave you somewhere you like no matter what. Plus it doesn't allow them to low ball you.

I do too but, I recently saw a tik tok from a recruiter who said to say the number upfront and add 20k to it because that’s what White and Asian men do. She claims that companies don’t care about “your market research.”

Yes

By contract is 1.

Which one should I go for?

1. Oracle - 18.3 LPA fixed + probable bonus (I may or may not get)
2. Amadeus - 18 fixed + 1.5 variable.

Amadeus is also giving joining bonus of 75k. Amadeus is paying more, may give better hikes too, but I am finding it hard to let go off Oracle's brand name on my resume even if it's means around 2L less over an year. I am planning to work for atleast 3 years in my next company.

What would you have done in my place? Should I go for Oracle or Amadeus?
