I like to say I would like a market competitive salary in the initial rounds so that i can get them to like me and punt answering that question until later
They will validate your salary before they make an offer, so don't falsely bump up. But tell them you're open to salary and more interested in the role. Once you're at the point of offer- then you negotiate.
NEVER fake your current salary!! I've had friends lose the job after background confirms they lied.
I've found it's better to state you have an impending salary adjustment and that it wouldn't make sense to leave for the same increase.
I like EY's answer. I'm not convinced on the salary validation thing. What you made before shouldn't matter anyway. I hate that people still ask past salary!
Thank you for the advice, I'm going to list my current salary truthfully and then for expected I will follow the advice from EY1. I wish I could eliminate stating current altogether but they explicitly ask for it 😩
