I keep seeing conflicting advice on this. Some people say you should never share your current salary because it can anchor future offers lower. Others say being upfront can sometimes build trust and lead to better offers, depending on the company.I have also noticed some applications and recruiters still directly ask for it, which makes it hard to avoid the question entirely. For people who have gone through salary negotiations in tech, what’s actually happened when you did or didn’t share your current pay? Did it help your offer, or did it limit it?
