Don't get fancy with a null. Just put $0 or $1. If they ask about it say it's confidential. They already made you an offer, it's unlikely they'll do anything at this point. They want you to work there.
- ttlaxia 9y agoMost of these sorts of forms I've seen in recent years have been online things that have some kind of input validation. In particular, the ones I've seen tend to be a drop box with choices like $20,000-$29,999...$30,000-$39,999... etc. And the form won't submit without making a choice. The point evidently being to leave no realistic choice but to tell them the truth.
- Jemmeh 9y agoPut the lowest or highest amount the drop down says so it still seems unrealistic if possible. They'll probably ask about it, and again your answer is, "That information is confidential, so I just put in the lowest the form would take." "Okay, but we really do need that information." "That's between me and my accountant, haha. But based my my research this is the amount people in my field make so let's put this number down. -places print out of Glassdoor salary info on table-" Ultimately it's just another method to pressure you into giving them more leverage in salary negotiation. You still don't have to give it.
