They should ask "what are you looking for?" instead
Where are you located? In New York City they aren't allowed to ask that question anymore.
If you choose to share it then bump it up a little
^ 10K
Answer with "I'm looking for..."
Yep 10k. If you're in NYC they shouldn't be asking anyway.
Raise it by at least 5k if you share
Nope
The law in NYC doesn't go into effect until Oct. So they actually can still ask until then.
Act offended and leave. Then tell me where you interviewed.
You really should be honest and share what you make with everyone, it benefits the ones getting paid too little. This shouldn't be a taboo subject. As a Senior Producer in Chicago I make $130K (I think that's good, but who knows). So if you're leaving for an EP role, you will want to make at lot more then this, but if it's a lateral move you can tell them what you want to make $xxx,xxx. Good luck.
Depends on the assignment or give a range. Always make them commit to a number first.

Never. You should just ask what the range is and let them know if it's what you expected... Keep you in the driver's seat too.
I am convinced (paranoid?) that I have no privacy left, and everybody knows everything about me. So I will share - perhaps a range, or say "above $xxx." If outside their range, no point wasting anyone's time. If I end up with an offer, that is the time to negotiate at.
