<prompt> Human: I have a second interview. The topic of salary will come up near the end of it. The question is: do I put out a number first, or ask, What are you willing to offer me?  <response>: I have had a firms HR ask me for a salary range, in this case I would just let them know what the range I am expecting. There is nothing wrong with giving them a number on the higher range of your expectations.
