Went for an interview last Saturday and the ''current salary'' column I leave it blank while the expected salary i just put ''negotiable''. The interviewer insist me to put a numbers 1st so they can negotiate/offer based on the price i written.  Then i ask them whats the budget / salary range they could offered and apparently they stunned for a while , and said ''actually this salary thing is quite sensitive bla bla bla....'' So moral of the story , they dont need ur current salary to hire you. They have their own scale. If u told them your current salary , they might just use that as their ''new scale'' and offer u merely 10-15% more than your current salary.You'll never know their budget if you let them know your current pay. As dreamer101 said , whoever put the number 1st ,LOSE . |

QUOTE(dreamer101 @ Apr 8 2013, 11:20 AM) Smurfs, Actually, the real situation is WORST than that. In many companies, there is a HR policy that they cannot offer you more than 15% above your current salary. So, once you put your current salary down, the hiring manager cannot offer you much more than 15% above current salary without SPECIAL APPROVAL from the executive level. The candidate had limited their salary offer when they put down their current salary. Dreamer This has reminded me of my colleague's interview session few weeks ago.The HR called and ask my colleague to bring along his latest payslip for interview. At the end of interview session HR even asked '' Are you ok if I offer you the same amount of your current salary ? ''Apparently my colleague said no and was told go back and wait for calls. To dreamer , what you said is true . You have my respect.  Thanks . |
