Why are you so against sharing your pay slip ?

Just curious ? I was previously in a MNC, then moved to a contract job with a China company and finally now in another Malaysian based MNC .

I had no qualms giving them my pay slip and asking them to give me an increment or fly kite.

I have always been upfront with the HR and I got the pay that I was expecting without much negotiations,

If you are requesting for more than what they commonly pay, they will need some kind of internal approval .

I have gone through that many times, this is more we normally pay our senior managers. then the negotiation starts.

If you are truly as qualified, what's the big deal in throwing in your pay slip .. its in your favour, not theirs.

Unless, you aren't getting paid as well as you made your resume out to be . It happens, but that's life .

Honestly, I think this mindset is wrong.

You are right in the sense that they shouldn't pay you 20 - 30% increment to go to a new environment.

But exactly, that's why I said the pay slip is in your favour not theirs .

I have negotiated for way higher than 20 - 30%

Willing buyer, willing seller. If they value my knowledge and experience, they pay me my asking price. (within reason of course, know your worth, don't be arrogant)

Thats my 2 cents.
