Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?

Are you close to getting the offer? I would wait if I could - if you’re willing to walk - you can say something like I’m really excited about this opportunity, however I want to make sure it makes sense financially for me - could you provide the hiring budget for this role.
"Make me an offer," in a friendly tone is about as clear as you can get. Incidentally, this is the same answer I give when they ask how much I am looking for.
