Exactly what the title says. I was asked my current base salary, not what I’m looking for. And when I refused they tried to pressure me into answering. I don’t want them doing this to other people who don’t know it’s illegal.

I did try googling but didn’t see any answers aside from “sue them”. Shouldn’t there be a way to report it to the labor board or something?

      It worked great for my last job. I was earning 45 k€ a year (before taxes, it’s weird), and when they asked I told them I earned 65 k€ but wouldn’t mind a lower salary since the job was good. We settled on 62 k€. It was the biggest raise I got so far.

      Yeah who the fuck tells the truth with that shit. Literally lie about it or tell them current market rate is what you make.

        Go freeze your “work number” as well. Equifax will sell any records of your pay to companies for $60/pop.
