Reddit’s not always right. I never tell them my current salary but I of course tell them my expected salary to the comma. How else would know how much to pay me? I’m in Europe though, maybe we do it differently (which we actually do since we still require pictures along with applications)

I’m in the US and if I want 125k to change jobs I list 125k. I don’t care. If they won’t match my wants I won’t take the job.

It’s pretty common in the US now to not ask/give current salary but salary expectation in your new role should be discussed in the first conversation with a recruiter. I would never waste my time interviewing unless I knew we were all on the same page about salary expectations.

This whole time I thought it was common practice to just lie and say you make a little bit more and you're looking for a little more than that. It's been my best way to avoid wasting interview time 👍🏼
