Are recruiters allowed to ask for current salary numbers in NYC? What’s the best way to answer it (but not give them actual number) since it’s illegal in NY

No NYC does not permit recruiters to ask for your current salary. They can only ask about your target salary for the new job

Against HR laws.

I thought it’s a fed law now - can’t do it anywhere, Deloitte stopped a few years ago.

You can just flat out say it’s an illegal question. I’ve done and never had it become an issue. Or if you’re really nervous you can play coy and say “I’m sorry? Oh I believe what you are asking is what salary range I am interested in, as I’m sure you’re well aware that is considered an illegal question in NY” or “now now if you’re testing me to see if I can spot an illegal question then I can assure you I’m well aware. I believe what you’re truly asking is what my salary range is” that just makes it more light and gentle. Most of the recruiters I’ve worked with in the past are human who can let down their corporate facade so making it a light hearted can be helpful. Just my two cents Personally I’ve just flat out said “it’s actually illegal to ask that in NY what I can give you is my salary range which can be subject to change based on responsibilities communicated during the interview etc”

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the most, how pissed would you be if you were a supervisor and you had a new direct report on your team with a higher salary than you? The years of experience are the same, but you have 3 designations (they have 0), you have 3 licenses (they have just 2), they have little to no experience with technical complex claims (you have hundreds), and you have 3 years in management (they have 0).
