Never. It’s only hurts your leverage. You can say that you don’t feel comfortable disclosing your current rate. Negotiations should revolve around the role and your experience only. I would also say it’s a huge red flag if a company pressures you to disclose your current rate and provide evidence.

Hi,

Never ever.

When I face that kind of recruiters, I answer with the same answer given by PM1.
If it’s not sufficient and they keep asking, I give them either an educated answer by asking for their salary grid to be able to answer, or a maximum number to bargain with and from, or I mention that they came to me and that a proposal they should make by themselves if willing to disclose it and not a question they should ask in case of a direct approach.

To me, it’s as much funny as a recruiter who calls you (direct approach) and the next guy that asks you “why did you apply to our firm”, my answer in such case was very funny one time : “well, don’t you know that’s your CEO that called me?” Or “Well, I never applied” and it was legit in both cases 😂
I let you imagine the face of the recruiter facing that answer.
Me thinking : internal communications seems to heavily suck there, let’s write it and write minus minus signs.

They never hired me.
And I would have not accepted such red flags.

PM1 is right, flee that kind of recruiters.
They are only harming the profession and your career.

To share another anecdote:
Head hunter calls me.
They say we hunt for a firm in tech consulting.
I answer I consider strategy and management only.
The calls ends.
They email me a GDPR file with ref request.
I fill it plus I add a clause to give them the grant to send my resume only to the discussed firm.
These morons sent it to another firm.
Unfortunately for them I interviewed with that firm last year.
I just blacklisted the headhunter and headhunting firm. And I also sent and email to the firm in question which I interviewed with last year to let them know and an inmail to and ex-colleague working at the discussed firm.

That’s an appropriate approach for recruiters lacking professional ethics that all applicants should follow.
And I find it to be quite fair.

NEVER disclose your current compensation. Pivot and if cornered say “My current competition should not affect my ability to perform this role at a high level. For my next role, I’d be looking for a range of $x-$y”

Hello Guys,

I joined
Cognizant recently, the project interview calls which I am getting is not from my base location.
I have the location constraint, should I wait for the right opportunity or raise this concern to ADP team so they can look in to it?

As per ADP policy, one should not have any constraints and take the project as FCFS basis.

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary.

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
