If I was an employer asking for your previous salary, the very next request would be for proof.

- raducu 11y agoThat would be very reasonable. But it never happens here, that's why I said it's a different market, and that's why I also lied. Bullshit question obtains bullshit answer. I guess in a perfect world I would have said something along the lines "I'm not allowed to/I'm not confortable revealing that information", or if I really had balls I would have said the truth and STILL ask for 50% more. But I feel I would never have gotten 50% without lying, which is kind of sad.
- jotux 11y agoHonest question, why? What role does someone's previous pay play into what they're worth to a new employer?
- Spoom 11y agoWell, because at best it confirms and solidifies a low anchor for their side of the negotiation, and at worst reveals them as a liar with whom the employer may not want to work.
