I think there are more advantages in sticking to the "good and honest" method. > You asked how much I make and because I’m a good and honest person, I told you. You then asked me what I wanted in salary which I also told you. My expectation is that because I disclosed my current compensation, as a good faith exchange you will offer me what I asked for... ...and if you act in obvious poor faith then this gives me great information about how your company will treat me, just at the exact moment when I need it.
