Ask if they can share a salary range for the role. This isn't necessarily a red flag if they cannot share one.

Know your worth - do research against publicly available salary ranges and salary information. If you provide a number of a range, salary or total comp, stick with it throughout the entire process.

You do not have to share your current salary, just your expectations. And even then, depending on your country or state (in the US), they may not be allowed to ask.

The more your share, the more you can determine if the salary expectations are a fit for you as well. There is nothing worse than getting to the offer stage to find out the offer doesn't come close to meeting your expectations.
