I am looking to identify committed Christians within Deloitte who would be interested in serving on the US board of a global non-profit committed to restoring the lives of those who have been traumatized via human trafficking or gender-based violence in SE Asia. Deloitte has been instrumental in partnering with Hagar International via pro-bono consulting and we would love to leverage this partnership on our US board.

Dance around the question: “I’m targeting between a range of X and Y. I’ve come to that range after a lot of research about what the market is paying for my skillset and experience.” If they insist say “I’ve had great growth at my current company and they have treated me well. I’m towards the top of the pay and for my role.” If they keep insisting lie, within reason, giving yourself the raise you’re looking for. Your future employer has a right to an honest answer to any question they have a right to ask you. They do not have an ethical right to ask you this question. They should care how much you’re worth to them, not how much you’re currently making.
I usually say something like "I'm making X but need Y to consider leaving" if they really push. You don't have any obligation to answer though. And in some states, it's illegal for them to even ask.
I always counter by asking, “What is the salary range for this role?” This puts the ball in their court and gives you a range to work with. It also helps avoid providing a number yourself and potentially limiting your negotiating power.
