When giving your salary expectations, do you say one number, or do you give a broad range?

So for example, if I want 100k (and let’s say this is high for the role), would you say 90-120? Or would you start with 100

110-120 if you want 100

If companies would add their pay to their long list of job requirements then they would actually contribute to the job market being a real market. You want a,b,c and you’re willing to pay $x - if you don’t get suitable candidates then guess what: you need to adjust your expectations or your pay.
Don’t waste my and your time by weaseling around. That only shows your lack of integrity as a company.
As a job applicant, I need to put out everything upfront, including my race, disabled status and whether or not I still have my appendix. WTF

One number. With range they like to do bottom of the range

Uhhhhh yeah I like to start up but I won't take under 200k for my next role and don't hate my current job so I'm in the minority here lol

I always have a range starting at my lowest acceptable number. So if I wanted 150, I said 150-175

Narrow range with what you'd settle for at the bottom or just below the bottom of said range.

This is up to your negotiation strategy

Put yourself in their shoes; if you heard a range, why would you pay more than the bottom? Say one number that’s higher than what you actually want
