Had 2 interviews & filling out their application now. They have a field to put my starting and ending salary and past jobs, if I get this job it will be a big jump in pay. I feel like this is none of their business. What would you do in my shoes?

I would leave that part blank. Never disclose your past salary.

I would either leave it blank, or make it higher or very close to the salary you'd like to reach in this new position. I agree that disclosing your current or past ranges is almost always a mistake.

Hello! I’ve been working as a photographer for 15 years both as an employee and a freelancer. I started working full time with my current company a year ago. They’ve just offered me a new position: Creative Services Manager (in house for 4 related brands). I have no official experience in this field and had never heard of it before but feel like it will essentially be a creative director. I will also maintain the photography duties for the time being. Any idea what salary I should ask for?

Need an advice. I am confused between doing masters or learn tech stack and increase experience and salary.

If masters I have to do in US or UK, so GRE, GMAT.
If for learning and tech experience I can learn tech stacks.
But I am confused between this.
Could you please tell or suggest what would be a better choice? Is doing masters in US or UK is a better ROI or be in India and gain exp and earn more by switching?
Currently I am a Java developer.

I'm trying to suss out if a new member of our dept hates me or my team (she manages a different team).

He's triggered very easily, and there was no explicit evidence, just a 'vibe' so I wrote it off. (See 1st comment)
