Hi Everyone- UK based here.. so after rounds of interview an HR from Morgan Stanley asked me to disclose my five years salary history. I found it quite uncomfortable as I feel like I'm losing my bargaining power in negotiating my salary. Any similar experience and how you come to terms in this situation? Thank you

In Sweden salary is public and banks always commence credits checks allowing them to see our income 3 years back. People still manage to negotiate their salaries here

it's nice to know- thank you!

In the US, that typically doesn’t happen.

heard that there are actually states that legislate to ban salary history

I don't think that's even legal. I'd politely decline.

feels like right- especially being a woman and POC

I faced a similar issue but I was still able to negotiate for a little higher. I’m sure you’ll be able to do the same.

If its ib the salary up to a level is pretty much standard anyway.

So had my first interview in one of the big 4 but it got me completely off guard. First one was call screening and then a technical interview. Now what I didn’t expect is rather than technicalities they focused on the consulting a lot more. Now the role that was marketed was technical/Architect and they even said that in current capacity you’ll work here as a technical person. I don’t think it went well. Coming from a technical background I was hoping for coding .
Is it always like this?
