When you are hiring an experienced developer, do you ask what they were making at their last job? Of course you don't, that would be hypocritical.
However, other employers do ask what your previous salary was so they obviously place some value on salary as a metric. It's only reasonable for inexperienced candidates to go for the larger salary because they know it will be used as metric that will effect their income for many years to come.
- davidu 16y agoThat's a really interesting point. I sometimes do ask what people were making, but you're right, it doesn't matter. I already know what I want to offer.
