I’m about to take a lateral move to a different company for the exact same salary just to get away from my toxic boss. People tell me it’s a bad career move to leave for a flat pay raise, but I’d honestly pay them $5k just to never hear my boss’s voice again. Am I sabotaging my long-term earning potential? How do you explain a move like this to future employers without sounding like a problem employee?

When negotiating salary and being asked if you currently get a bonus, would you "lie" if it helps you to get paid more? Is this considered taboo and is there any way a potential employer could find out if you weren't truthful about your current salary/bonuses?
