“So how much are you making now?”
“I’d like to make $xxxxxx.”
Just don’t answer the question. They’ll ask every time. Never answer

They can ask for a lot of things doesn't mean you have you give it to them

Just reply with the range you are looking for. Deadpan. You must decide what that is before negotiating or else you will be in a weaker position as no employer will throw out a numbet first.

If the agency you are interviewing at happens to be owned by the same holding company as your current agency, it is pretty easy for the new agency to find out what you make now.

Not sure if this is true but I heard it shows up in your background check or something

I've been asked to provide W-2’s before for income validation

I’ll tell a recruiter how much I’m making now, but never an employer. Always stick to what I expect to make, that’s all they need to know

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
