Dude,

Never cheat resume or salary. Honesty is the best policy. The world is a small place. Getting blacklisted is no good.

I never give salary slip because they will at most give you 10-20% higher than current pay. I use my current yearly salary as a guideline, which will include bonus, allowance, OT and basic which is then divided by 12. To me money is money. I dont care how they pay me more, but they should at least meet my yearly income that i made per year regardless recession/booming economy, in exchange for my services.

So far i manage to negotiate my way to 50 - 100+% increment this way. But of course, you will need to show that you are worth every penny, reputation carries a big weight.

Speaking of salary range, they are only for reference, no two job is the same despite same industry hence HOW you sell yourself is most important. We are responsible to fight for the best rate to sell our time and life for the company.
