I always tell them it’s illegal and send them the legislation, in a polite way. It’s honestly something they should know, and they could get in trouble if they asked the wrong person.

Doesn’t matter. It’s the state you live in.

Answer by telling them what your salary expectations are instead of what you currently make.

So to give some background, I currently have about 6-7 YOE in the BA/PM space, and my current position is 100k, with 10k annual bonus. The position I hold is as a Senior Business Analyst at the company I'm currently at.

I received an offer for a Salesforce Functional Business Analyst at Accenture for 128k annually with a 15k signing bonus. I'm hesitant due to the lower title, as I want to move back into PM work, and feel as if I'm taking a step down. Also, concerned with the WLB at Accenture.
