[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought it was classic to not divulge salary history if possible. In other threads people would chastise OP for sharing it. NP. [/quote]

If you can get around it smoothly, then sure, do that. For instance, instead of simply declining to answer the question and asking for the hiring range, OP could have stated, "The salary range I'm looking for now is $X-$Y. What is the hiring range for the position?" It doesn't directly answer the question but doesn't just refuse, and if they really want to know they can follow up. Some employers will insist on having the information, though, and if they're being insistent, refusing to divulge the information without good cause (e.g., your previous employer had a policy of salary confidentiality) may be a mark against you.[/quote]

+1 if you can easily and nonconfrontationally avoid giving salary history, you should try to do so.  However, in this case, they were insistent on having it, it sounds like OP didn't handle the request well and combined that with an unrealistic salary expectation.  It isn't just the reluctance to disclose salary history that's the problem here.[/quote]
