Confidently. Companies typically ask how much you think the job pays. I always high ball here. When they tell me a price I say that I like the job but for me to make the change that I’ll need to make around x (higher than they offered) they typically try to low mid me and we haggle to a middle rate. That’s my experience on it. You have to have reason to be paid more though. If the job is easily replaced by the next Joe than good luck.

And which person decides? The hiring manager?

In my scenario. The person who is interviewing you decides. They make the determination if they want to hire you. They have a range of pay they can pay and want to pay you the lowest within that range.
