How to avoid disclosing current salary

I make $50k USD in my current job and I am interviewing for a role in a US based startup. Their salary range for the role is mentioned to be $80-120k. My ideal target is $100k with them. Shall I inflate my current salary to let's say $75k in the hope of an easier negotiation to $100k? Can they do a background salary check in India? They are a tiny team of <10 folks. The above thought is obviously under the assumption that they can't verify my salary in India and/or would not be bothered about it. Is my assumption correct? And if yes then is my approach correct?

Had the first (exploration) call with my would-be boss and HR lead to figure out which role I would fit in. Company is an MNC startup, best culture ive heard of, lots of friends working there in different verticals etc. I usually dont reveal salary this early on but it was a very quick call and they asked about it and I felt like I had to this time to not come off as a snob or stuck up. Chances are low and I am okay pushing back but Im paranoid about getting lowballed now. Any advice on how to better my chances in the upcoming rounds? Greatly appreciate any help

Now that I am hiring, being on the other side has made me learn so many mistakes that I did/do (too) 1. Research (find at least 5 sites or people) about the position's playability 2. Ask that much, don't let imposter syndrome get better of you (I am guilty of this) 3. Do not share your current salary. If you are not desperately looking for a job, put your foot down. Give them an expectation (point 1) 4. Expected range - you want the higher number, HR sees the lower number 5. Don't over-follow up - I have had people reach out on multiple platforms within 24 hours of applying. Give a week's time. 6. Clean up your resume, no spelling mistakes. I have seen some very beautiful resumes *chumeshwari* 7. Sometimes, the recruiter doesn’t have all the answers; they are also not getting updates from teams. Please be patient

I got to know that budget for the role i interviewed is in range of 20-25 LPA. My last drawn salary itself is lower than the market standards. The company wouldn't give hike more than 30% considering my experience in the role domain. But I have performed well in all my interview rounds. Any tips from the community to negotiate for atleast the lower band of their budget?

Guys, I have 8 years of IT experience out of which , 2.5 in azure. I got a call from Capegemni HR , saying there's an azure opening, asked for my current and expected CTC. I said the current is 7 LPA and expected is 20 LPA. It's a hybrid role with 3 days working from the office. She said it is not possible, Max they can give is 10-13. I am in Kerala,and have a baby under 1. I have to relocate if I get it. I don't think it is fair salary. Is it ok if we don't tell when they're asking for our current salary based on which they will give max 100% if we perform exceptionally in the interview. Or how can I deal this? Thanks in advance.

I have been interviewing at a startup. Initially I told my expectations to be 38LPA Later came to know, they pay much more. Have cleared all the interviews, how can I negotiate for more salary? Current compensation - 27LPA Yoe - 6.5 Role: Senior frontend engineer

I have been applying for jobs, and every time I get a recruiter call, they ask me for my current СТС. Is it ok to tell them the current CTC at the very first call? Asking this because, in my current company, the budget was more but they gave me hike based on my previous CTC, because I had disclosed my current CTC before. Also, how do I tackle the question how much is my expected salary? Is it a good idea to tell them right away? Asking this because what if they have bigger budget but still end up paying how much I asked for. PS: I am new to all of this, please help me how to tackle these questions. Thank you.
