Do your research.
1) Go to glassdoor and checkout the following: whats the salary for that position at that company, what's the salary for that position in your area.
2) Consider how much you make and what you are wanting to move to.
3) What are their benefits like? Tuition reimbursement (do you plan on using it?), whats their 401k match, etc
I personally almost always try to have them give me the range.Current: GSEC, GCIH, GCIA, GWAPT, GYPC, RHCSA, WCNA

It depend, if you have a job, if you want to move for a monetary reason, please be ready to give your salary expectation (and expected benefits). If it don't align with their offer, you will not choose to move over. So better don't loose your time and their time.
If you don't have a job and/or you are desesperate to leave your other job, well give them a realistic salary expectation range... Don't low-ball you.. you will regret it later, but be flexible. -

Either "Please see my previous question", "Market rate", or a specific number if you have one in mind.
Done. -

Ideally for any position you decide to apply, you should 1) research as much as you can the market rate salaries for the 'job title' (which is not the best indicator of the job as companies often inflate titles) and 2) already have a range you are comfortable or would accept.
If you put a range out there and it is too high, then that's probably not a job you would want. Think about it, if they can't pay you what you want, is it worth pursuing?
