Clarification: it’s illegal for employers to ask what your current salary is in NY. They can ask for salary expectations. I left that field blank in applications.

Who is making you fill out paperwork before you’ve discussed your comp package?!

I want to type in 0 but always fear being pulled out the running because of it. Annoying they add it to the forms. 🙈

@sp1, a lot of online forms won’t allow you to submit without entering a number.

Then put 0 ☺️

Has anyone ever gotten a response from online applications forms? So far I have not.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?
