Help! I recently interviewed for a consulting role and after the interview, the headhunting agency reached out to me to ask about my comp history on behalf of the firm. Does anyone know what it is used for? I have already been provided the total comp info

They’re just trying to get the lowest number they can for your comp. Just ask what the comp range or budget is for the role and try not to give them a number or range first. I think there’s a legal stipulation somewhere that they can’t technically ask you, not too sure on details

It looks like they are trying to lowball you. In NY it is illegal to ask.

And tbh I don’t know if it’s the agency or the firm who’s actually requesting this info. And why do they need to know after telling me how much I’m paid

All overruled. OC's latest brief in opposition to our motion to compel is a 13-page, babbling, word-salad mess with 126 pages of exhibits. It does not address our arguments and any 1L could have written a better brief. Judge should punish her!
