Hi, I’d like to ask for insights from those who have been in sales accounts. A company I applied to asked me to submit a payslip showing the breakdown of my previous salary. I find this uncomfortable because as far as I know, salary history questions are already prohibited under the Salary History Ban Law. I'm worried they might use it to justify offering the bare minimum pay. Has anyone experienced this? how did it affect your job offer? Would really appreciate any honest feedback

Never had that happen to me. That’s weird. Clear red flag. RUN. There’s a plethora of companies hiring. Refine your strategy. Polish your LinkedIn—- and engage with recruiters and post to show you’re alive and worth someone’s time.

Edit: if you’re based in California or TX I could be able to recommend you to some roles.

I would be uncomfortable too. In many regions this crosses legal or ethical lines. I would push back politely and focus the discussion on role value and market alignment rather than salary history.

Should I specialize in Blockchain or AI? I’m a freshman in a CS degree and I can’t decide. My main argument to choose blockchain is the easy entry with little experience and high salary, I plan on growing my skills during the bear market and get a job once the market recovers. Regarding AI, I find this field fascinating but I feel like it requires a lot of experience, degrees and diplomas.

Is your compensation and performance reviewed automatically on a regular/annual basis? I don’t get either of these unless I ask for it! Found out others in our company experienced the same as me. Lowball Salaries trending as a common pain point

I like my team and work life balance, during the pandemic was very beneficial to my wellbeing. However feel I owe it to myself now, to be earning what I’m worth in the market (I’m underpaid by a fair bit) especially with inflation costs

Considering leaving to take a partner position at a small firm. Is it worth it? Would only be 2 partners with a staff of 10. Comp would be 250k on the low end and probably top out around 350k. Would take 3-4 years to get to this level of comp as would be buying 10% per year up to 40% of the firm. Am I stupid for not taking this? Currently manager making 125k. Comp first year as junior partner would be 120k with 10% ownership.
