What do you say when a recruiter asks for your salary? I usually increase it by 10k. Is that too much?

Best answer is “that’s something I only tell my accountant. But for this role I think x is fair/what’s your budget” also note in places like NY they can’t ask anymore

Yep in California they can’t ask anymore either.

I typically ask them what band they’re looking at first, makes them play their cards.

From there, I’ll say something to the effect of, “based where I’m currently at @ X Agency, what I’d like to be out is Y amount based on the market”

No one can ask for your salary but can ask for the range you are looking for .

Hey! I've always wanted to get into IB (prestige, money, you name it), however now that I'm in a more laid back environment (better WLB, "easier work") it doesn't seem as attractive as before and the pay is quite good for an analyst level (I think the pay is competitive even comparing with IB's pay in my country) . I wanted to know if anyone had the same experience and what were your thoughts (pursue an MBA and leave your comfort zone and "good pay" or just stick with it). TIA!

Hi Fishes,
I had given interview for network security architect position in Feb last week. And as per recruiter, I got selected for that role. I have been asked to share the documents on March 1st. I did a few followup for the offer letter update and they asked me 2 wait for 2-3 weeks. And now they are saying position has gone on hold after I did another followup.
Could it be because of expected salary ?

Humana- TC= 155K, Mastercard-TC=175. Which is a better option, as talk are going on that, recession will happen soon. I’m confused to choose, as some say Insurance company doesn’t get effected with recession. Please suggest.
