I read some advice that suggested asking the salary band during salary negotiations and that many HR departments won't hesitate to share.

I tried this while interviewing for my current job and sure enough they shared. Lesson learned: you can ask and the worst they will probably do is say no, but it's very valuable knowledge if they share.

Important questions most reasonable people can answer: Can you share the salary range? Are you targeting the mid-point? Are you able to make an offer at the top of the range if you want to?
