Potential employer says that salary history is mandatory, otherwise they cannot move forward with offer. What are your thoughts? Should I volunteer this info?

What level are you? If you aren’t manager or above then you are a pawn in the game and they will find someone else to do the same work who won’t put up a fuss about disclosing their current compensation.

If you are lower level and unhappy with your compensation then you should disclose the information with an explanation of why you feel you were underpaid for the market/your skill set.

at this point just do it. after they low ball you tell them what you require to take the job and they can't take it or leave it. better than walking away at this point!

Unless you really, REALLY, want the job, I’d say walk away and keep looking. In my opinion, disclosing that info puts a ceiling on your value (in the eyes of the new employer). Find a job that pays want you think you’re worth in the open market.

Yup. Check in state laws. That's now illegal in NC.

It's for a manager level role. Not in NYC or any of the states where it is now illegal, but they def do have personnel in NYC as well. I'm not too concerned tbh, bc I am hoping to get a competing offer as well. I am asking more for future benefit and to understand how the game is played, per se. They say they cannot move forward with an offer unless I provide salary history and I smell BS on that. Just want to know what everyone else thinks.

EY does not request recent full year performance evaluation. Nor does it ask pay history. I just joined.

Pretty bogus

Yea. EY just asks for a direct copy of your most recent full year performance evaluation! Sorry, but that is sketchy as hell.

Smells like a cow patty. I'd pass on that company on principle. They will give you the smallest raise possible. Your pay will always be based off what they think they can get away with- not with the market rates.

Well i had a few friends interview there for manager positions and they requested screen shots of the full year evaluation before they would begin to consider folks for in office interviews.

PWC2- your friends got played. Never heard of asking for a screen shot of a evaluation.

Ha. That was my feeling too!

I was offered a promotion but due to internal policies the max comp they could offer was way under market value. I countered and was denied. I took time to think about it, being disappointed I applied for other jobs. Monday came and I decided to accept the offer. A week before starting my new position I got a call for one of the jobs I applied for. I am now going through to the last round of interviews the same week I start my new position. Would it be bad practice to accept another offer now?

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.

Does anyone else think the RSU comp structure is a disincentive to work to your full potential? I know, for example, that my base comp is maxed out so my only raises will be through additional RSUs. They only grant new RSUs once per year and do it for years out in the future. So, for this year’s comp cycle, I got RSUs that won’t vest until 2023. Yeah, who cares? Who knows if I will even work here by then. There is no relatable tie in between performance and comp.
