What’s the salary range for the position?

I always ask for range first. I never disclose my target.

Ok

Give them a range with the lower number being your target number then say you would like to hear more about the roles and responsibilities before being locked into a number. Final step is to ask for the salary band of the role

Tell them directly what you want or ask for the range for total compensation. If they can't meet it, walk away if you have other options. I got my ask that way.

Say you don’t have a number yet but if they have range they are targeting

Ask in a way that doesn’t waste anyones time

Just freaking ask. Don't waste your or my time if it's not acceptable.
