In case anyone needs to hear this: if a recruiter asks you what your current salary is and you don’t share it and they ask you why and tell you it’s so they have your best interests in mind, that’s certainly not the case. It’s usually the exact opposite - they want to cap your desired salary for that role by using your current salary as a reference point that works against you.

The proper response to that question AND the only thing you should say is, “What is the position budgeted for?”

It’s also illegal in nyc!

Yes, for this exact reason I’m guessing!

Just lie. There’s no legal way to verify it anyway

Whatever you say, true or untrue will be used against you. Always flip it back around on them.

Yea definitely don’t say it. I always tell them I’m not comfortable sharing but I’ll give them a range ok what I’m expecting .

First rule of negotiation - never be the first to throw out a number.

“The confidentiality agreement I signed prohibits me from disclosing my salary.”

I'm feeling incredibly anxious and honestly depressed right now because of work. I had already been feeling demotivated and wanting to leave but I was told on Monday that I was being out on probation for one year (I am not going into detail on this). And now my manager is pressing me about finding a new project role as I have been on the bench for more than a month, and one possible one may require travel.
