Read the article: it mentions to ask back the recruiter with the same question.

Now I ask back with “what is the total compensation for this position/role?”. I almost always get an answer, often above my expectations. I used to give my range (mistake)

I assume this is something which is going to be very region/industry dependant. I have done the exact same thing multiple times, never had an answer.

When they answer "no, we want you to give a number first", I'm at loss about what to do, so I usually give them a number. Answering "no, you" feels kinda puerile.

I assume you have to be the first to do the power play?
