I know the advice is always to negotiate, but it's also OK to just be happy! You could consider getting good intel about market (but its harder than it sounds, so be careful and don't overinvest in that number), or add 10-20% to your current pay to get your number, and/or consider your actual expenses and targets. I mean, go nuts but don't let it get in the way of your being hired for something you like.

You need to do your research on what those roles, in that industry, and at this 'type' of company pays. That means looking through government/labor data, reaching out and networking, and snooping on the internet to get a good idea of what the range is, then you judge your skill level against the range and that's a very defendable number
Research market rates for the role and base your expectations on that, not your current paycheck. I know it can be easier said than done, but you have to watch out for yourself. Most companies right now want to give the least money for the most work.
I never give a number if I can avoid it. I always ask what the range is for the role instead. That way, you know their starting point for negotiations and can do your research to determine what you should ask for.

Agree with DMC1. Trust your research and remove your past and current salary from the equation
