This. Needs. Repeating.[/quote]

Not in my experience. it also depends on the size of the employer and their budget. My husband and I met in graduate school. We are in the same profession. We both work full time. I am paid less than he is, working for a small employer. Yes, I am looking for a new job, but when employers base their new salaries on salary history, I'll be at a disadvantage. [/quote]
No you don't tell your salary. If they want you they will make a good offer not based on your salary history but what teh job pays. Salary info is private and your current employer will not give that out. [/quote]

It's generally required in my experience. You can try to put it off, but a lot of times these days, there's an online form where you have to put it in to even put in your app. It's not like the old days where you could choose not to mention it in your cover letter (even if requested.

Even when I was working with a recruiter recently, I put it off as long as possible but had to disclose to be in the candidate pool.

It's also often required for contractor jobs because USAID and the like won't pay the contractor based on a rate that's more than X% higher than your old rate/ salary. [/quote]

Ok white woman working in finance here, and [b]I've always been paid less than my male counterparts and I'm a lot less full of shit and have more substantive skills and get good reviews - it's not a performance thing. [/b]

But, for the online apps, I usually just put in 000,000 or 000,001 or something to push it thru. I want them to offer me a salary based on me, not my current wages. [/quote]

Yup. Why do you think that is, PP?

For the online apps, I usually have to certify that everything is true and correct, so I'd be concerned about putting in a $1 salary history. [/quote]

Finance lady I know you can take this because you are in finance.  Only a moron would stay at a place like that knowing they were getting paid less for the same work when they thought they were superior.  A man would have left this company years ago.[/quote]

Just like Trump said, ... if you don't like being sexually harassed get another job.

Do you even see how ignorant your response is?[/quote]
