[quote=Anonymous]In my opinion, your current salary is your own business. The only one that benefits from you disclosing that information is your potential new employer, who will know what's an improvement of your salary and will probably be unwilling to go over a certain percent of your current salary. You're are just giving them negotiating information. I would not release your current salary. If they press you, you should simply punt. Let them come up with a number based on what you mean to them, not what you are making in your current job. (PS: I once made the poor choice of releasing my old salary to a potential new employer who completely used it against me during salary negotiations to say "see, we're offering X% over your past salary, you should be happy!").[/quote]
