S Should i lie about making less in order to get hire?
my current job is an IT support analyst…providing basic technical support to traders, wealth management etc. i currently make $50k, plus $20k in bonus as of this year.
im being laid off due to new ceo management and resturing…im applying to another investment as a desktop support. i dont think i will be making this much in another firm…probably around $40k-$50k. if they ask me how much i currently make, should i lie to them and say $45k and expect they will offer $50k. once again im not sure how much they are offering..im just guessing.
so to conclude…should i lie to them im making less in order to have a good chance they will hire me. i do want to work for them since they sound like an exciting investment company. thx in advance.
