Dear Experts, What advice do you have when an interviewer ask what your current salary is? Do you answer? Is it better to discuss that topic later? Here is how our CAREEREALISM-Approved Experts answered this question on Twitter:Q#433 Give salary & mention up for raise this yr. If get offer, can always ask for more if you can justify why. (@jtodonnell) Q#433 If you want more than you are currently making, state your desired salary range, but be prepared to defend your request. (@gradversity) Q#433 If interviewer asks your current salary you need to answer. Add: Why you're looking, if you want more. (@marysevinsky) Q#433 Be honest. Give a range if you're uncomfortable talking numbers but if you want more $, know why you deserve it. (@EmilyBennington) Q#433 I try to wait until they're more interested (final interview), b/c it's harder for them to turn you down. (@beneubanks) Q#433 Try to find out what the salary parameters of the position are. Indicate u wld. like to discuss role more.
