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.

eh..I guess so. In my field it seems like that must not happen.

You can creatively dodge it I suppose. Just have your number in mind. In my case I'm usually 5% higher than my number since I've never had someone not try to offer me less than asking.

Them: How much do you make?
You: Well it'd take $x for me to move.

not as much with former employers, as there are laws against it.

i have heard of new employers requiring to see a paystub after you start, if you lied, then ur fired.

also, there are some other 3rd party ways.

best is to just dodge it adn state you want what it fair for the position like others have said.
