Did you ask for it literally as "I want to make 20% more than I make now" or did you say "I need to make $x to move". I typically won't tell them what I make now and if they ask I lie and tell them I make what I need to move. They're going to lie to you so it's all fair play.


Except if they call your current employer to confirm salary, and they are given that information.

Now, of course, many employers these days only confirm dates of employment, and nothing else.

you shouldnt lie. just dodge the question and tell them what you need to make to move. some places do some verification after the fact and people have gotten let go based on lieing about their past compensation.

just dodge it.
