You have mentioned really good points, I loved the way you gave hints to handle such situations
Your examples are great! Not many people, including myself, knows how to do this kind of stuff.
Hi O, You make very good points here.
It is all too common that money is the guiding principle for hiring. I don't know how many times that IS the recruiters' first question. I have often kept that question at bay by saying that it depends on the "responsibilities and demands" of the position. Then again, I have had one recruiter yell at me for not giving a number answer.
Sometimes I wonder what would happen if the hiring company was more open about its own ranges. Alas, it seems more commonly I find, 'What is mine, is mine and what is yours is also mine'. ;) Matt

I can't believe I am just coming across this. This is a well-written, insightful piece. I must admit I have been in similar difficult position in the past where recruiters asked me what my current salary is. It throws you off balance if you had never given it such a deep thought before. Not only that, it messes with your negotiation power going forward.
Thanks for this great insight. I am better equipped for answering the question going forward.
