How to answer “What is Your Current Salary/$ Expectation” when my Big4 salary is HIGHER than what NewCompany will pay? Do I mention my salary to prove market value or be discreet so I’m not ruled out?

FYI: I’m applying for a senior role after a few years experience. Salary isn’t my priority, I’m willing to go max 10K below my current $. I’m just looking for the right experience/environment and I think I’ve found the right place for me!

I am taking a paycut 180 to 160... for the WLB.

Tell them what you actually want, or even higher, and say you’re willing to work with them to make everything fit.
