Has anyone refused to reveal their current salary during interviews? I read somewhere that it's illegal for HRs to ask for current compensation.

This is with reference to ight to privacy and equal remuneration act 1976

Never knew about the law but I've told the HRs that we can chalk out expected compensation later down in the process.

Doesn’t it waste your time?

I had Intel interview me and refused to discuss compensation during initial calls - just before the last round HR casually tells me a figure that is almost half of my current CTC.

I withdrew on the same call.

How should we handle the question though?

Don't share the salary till the final round atleast. Whenever they bring this question keep asking them about their budget or mention that salary isn't the most important factor for you (even if it is). Wherever in forms you are asked to put, just mention negotiable/as per market standards etc. Do your due diligence in the meantime to have an idea around the salary offer for that role. If they have invested in you till the last round there's a good possibility they won't drop you only because you are expecting a higher pay. Having a competing offer is always something that would help you. Got about 15% hike on the original offer+ 1.5lakh joining bonus only because I had a competing offer (when they were not willing to increase at all before I had disclosed i had a competing offer).

I usually flip the question and ask them to give their range. Have worked almost all the time

Coinswitch is one company that didn’t ask for my ctc when I interviewed and in fact shared their budget in the first call

Cars24: Discussed my expected CTC from round 1 itself. After 4 rounds and a case round they said they had some “team level restructuring” so they can’t proceed. Turns out they couldn’t afford my expectation

HRs are just the worst

[Discussion] Should Current Salary be disclosed?

Our company offer letter mentions our salary shouldn't be discussed or disclosed to our colleagues. It is confidential.

If we cannot share with the person sitting right next, why are we sharing with every other company we interview.
