I would answer this, but it would give my potential next employer the opportunity to lowball me. This would not be the case if the pay transparency that parent describes were already a thing, because I would have the same ability to check the salaries of that company. But without that mandate happening, whoever moves first loses. That's why salary transparency should be mandated, because otherwise no one has any motivation to move, so no one will.
