[–] throwaway283719 11y ago ↗ I think it would be more convincing if it was on her blog and not on the Salary Fairy site. [–] actualhop 11y ago ↗ Will a Medium post suffice?https://medium.com/p/c7ea9cef0b01The part where I offered on my own to write it is 100% true, by the way. They wouldn't even suggest what to say, and they put it up with virtually no edits. Which is amazing, since it could probably use a few.

[–] chrismcb 11y ago ↗ I don't understand, when the recruiters asked about your salary history, why give it? Just tell them how much you expect to make, and that is that. [–] DanBC 11y ago ↗ That's probably good advice, but:1) some people don't like to lie.2) telling an actual lie during some parts of the recruitment project leaves you open to rare but unpleasant effects.

1) some people don't like to lie.
2) telling an actual lie during some parts of the recruitment project leaves you open to rare but unpleasant effects.
