I always ask what the job pays.

Yes, and I would if I were you. I've gotten push back and answers that didn't make sense, but it helped me judge good recruiters vs bad ones on how they handle the question

Of course, you work primarily for Money, don't waste your time and theirs going ahead without knowing how much they offer.

Whoever throws out a number first is at a disadvantage so yes, try to not be the one who does.

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?

Salaries would be comparable (Lilly would most likely be a little more with bonuses), but if the culture sucks, I’d hate to burn a bridge with Envigo.
