"but there is a common misconception that if you disclose your salary to an employer, it will limit the potential salary offered. It’s your experience that is indicative of your ability, not your current salary"
- tptacek 15y agoWhich is just a flatly false statement. Disclosing your salary doesn't so much "limit" the potential salary offered as "determine it entirely". Obviously, you can negotiate yourself back from that horrible starting position --- but devs are such terrible negotiators in general, why on earth would one advocate for anything that makes negotiation harder?
- prof_hobart 15y agoMaybe so - all I was pointing out was that the article was definitely talking about current salary at some points.
