I wonder this myself. Prior employers supposedly can’t say certain things, but I question the type of information actually shared between HR folks

I know they do check salary levels. I’ve been questioned on it during a follow up interview

Hi all, I got laid off from my current company (product based) a month ago. Since then I've been looking for new opportunities. I got an offer from a good product based company with a good package and also my current company offering me rehire with promotion and a good package. I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.
