Talk it through with Aurelius
How do I find out what this role actually pays?
You are heading into a conversation about money without knowing what the role actually pays. One number off an aggregate site is not research, and you can feel that it is not — but you do not know where else to look.

CRAFT, strongly. Pay data has sources with knowable reliability and knowable bias. Nothing here is resolved by self-knowledge: a fully self-aware person who has not done the research still cannot name a defensible range.
How the two dials adapt to you →What’s really going on
You are about to negotiate from the position the other side is counting on. Four sources, ranked by how much they are worth trusting, and a range you can defend because you can say where it came from.
