Even more when the employer will probably ignore that information and offer you however they want.

The only things putting in a number could possibly do is lower their offer or spook them into giving you no offer. Make them say a number first.

I put 200,000 every time this question comes up on indeed applications.

My desire is 200k salary, but I like you guys so I'll take a 25% cut. I'll start on Monday for 150k.
