I posted some time back what you would think/react to this situation: when asked about salary in a recruiting situation the response ‘as much as a current male at the same job level +10%’. I’m happy to report that I used this tactic and received a very supportive response from the recruiter. She even shared her own personal story of pay inequity.

The recruiter was very supportive. She shared as a recruiter for many years how women don’t negotiate their salaries enough and was appreciative about how I framed my response as a stand that wasn’t about me, but was representative of the change we need to see. Also want to add that I’m a woman of color. I’m hoping my statement isn’t the reason I don’t get the job. But if it is then that’s not a company I would want to work for anyway.
