Just think! The companies/organizations are putting their best foot forward when they are asking you to apply for a position!
Thanks HR, you're giving us such hope for our future employment. Ack!

PS on those form ones they also didn't allow for non numerical figured, too, so you couldn't say annualized or tax adjusted or anything like that.

Put $1.00.
Why? This makes no sense. Why are you recommending this kind of lie?
Yeah, I've filled out two that had a note saying if you put in $1 or another fictitious amount you will be immediately disqualified.
So unfair.

YOU...DON'T...TELL...THEM...YOUR...SALARY
Why is this so difficult for DCUMers to understand?
Then as a hiring manager, I won't pursue your application further.

My husband was headhunted for an executive level position, and it was clear an offer was forthcoming (after several rounds of cross country meetings with the board and coo etc) and they still insisted on him filling out a salary form. He balked, and the person he is reporting to (who reports to the CEO) had also just joined the company and said he too was required to fill in this form and HR wasn't going to move without it. My husband could have put his foot down, but now you've changed the whole dynamic. It's really, really an awkward position.

For some federal contracts you have to fill out a certified form called a biodata and list your salary for the last 5 years. HR will then call and verify those numbers. Lying is immediate grounds for losing your offer.

If I were you, i would indicate "$300,000 annualized" or something. Whatever you can to get the $300k on the paper and not the $175k, because it was unconsciously stick in the employer's brain and give you a better starting place for negotiating a higher salary.

When describing my salary as an expat, I would let them know that my tax adjusted salary was X. Because in order to have the same take home pay, I would need considerably more to reflect the tax difference.
So you could say something to the effect that your salary, adjusted to reflect a full-time position is the equivalent of Y.
