AIBU to ask how to respond to recruiters when they ask this?

I don't want my answer to influence anything to come?

I would ignore but the recruiter has specifically emailed me to ask to "manage expectations" which translates to me as "we want to know we aren't over offering" Hmm

My old employer used to ask this on their application forms. I did a lot of shortlisting and noticed that a lot of candidates just left that section blank. It made no difference at all to our shortlisting decisions. Is that an option for you? It is none of their bloody business, frankly!

To be able to accept this post the remuneration package I’m looking for is:

x pay
x car allowance
x holidays

etc, don’t forget to look at the big picture re pension and benefits in comparison.
