It's worth mentioning that in some parts of the world (for example Israel) people don't have credit scores and you can't pay a service to find out what their income is.
Of course, lying is still mostly unnecessary, especially if you interview a lot and actually do have offers to back up your claims. Personally I think the hit your reputation would take from lying just isn't worth it.
- joezydeco 11y agoTrue, and let's quantify this a bit more. It's a lot easier to be upfront honest and give a take-it-or-leave-it number when you're currently employed and can afford to pass up the offer and move to the next company. A lot of people are not in this position. Negotiation certainly becomes critical. A little bit of homework and diplomatic work can bump your salary by thousands or tens of thousands with a few hours of work. This is impossible to do once you start your employment.
