Isn’t it illegal for them to ask how much you’re making now?

I usually sneak this into the first conversation. Some recruiters don’t realize a top-performing “Manager” at my firm makes ~$250k/year and I would expect a bump to leave. I try to make sure we are at least in the same ballpark before we waste any more time.

They can’t ask it in my state but that doesn’t mean I can’t offer it up willingly.

In more senior roles, you have to know the comp is in range since there can be wild discrepancies. I’ll give a range of what I’m looking for, and if my salary needs can’t be met, no time is wasted

EY 1 - its illegal probably in states like CA and few others.

Better to state upfront. You don’t want them putting you in a conversation for a 150k manager role if you’re making 250k.

If they ask current comp then give them what you’re max earnings would be for a given year

She asked to give an idea of what I was looking for...I didn’t give one though. Kinda regret it cause they seemed open to negotiation

You can always try to negotiate after you get the offer, and try to aim for a larger signing bonus

Manager 1 - That’s quite a compensation for Managers - regardless of how big a star performer they might be.

True true

@cap In CA, we can’t ask what you currently or historically earned - but we can ask what range you are LOOKING for.

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
