When asked "What's your current salary?"
Always tell them your expected new salary 😉

    Sounds good, doesn't work. At least not in my country. If they ask you what your salary is and if you don't tell them, you're not getting that job. They'll ask for proof too to cross verify so you can't lie.

    @aravindio so you can't "trick" companies to pay a bit more?

    @shozukan Sadly no. But if you have any ideas to trick them into paying us more, do let me know.

    @aravindio if you are leaving I good terms, try asking them for a "fake" receipt

    @shozukan Hmmm. I honestly don't think companies here would do that.

    @aravindio in Portugal they don't check, but in case you need, they are friendly with you and normally help you out when in need

    Well I'm in the UK and I work for a company that turns over multiple billions per year. When I started they required a lot of "proofs". These included pay slips from my previous employer.

    @AndSoWeCode it is private in the context of other staff. But not private in terms of people in your hr dept or payroll dept. They all know everything about everyone.

    That's fairly standard.

    @SSDD the fact that someone hands you your pay slip suggests your company is fairly small.
