@grendel84@tiny.tilde.website I skip questions like that. Also questions asking when I graduated from college and martial status are nunya (busines). I won't provide references until there's a background check so managers aren't used as sales leads. I won't sign contracts with an arbitration clause or disparagement clause.

@grendel84@tiny.tilde.website Well, as a company you can assume that every candidate who answers this truly will spill confidential information about your company to competitors as well.

@grendel84@tiny.tilde.website The units of measure and time period were left unspecified. So a valid answer could be of the form: 1. Fred: 986.87 C-Coin put options per microfortnight.

@grendel84@tiny.tilde.website I started answering questions like these with data that makes me look reasonably attractive (by being cheap for them to hire me). Should they want to hire me (hey, I’m cheap!), only at the very last second I would state: “Oh, I see, there must be a misunderstanding: Where I claimed to earn X, it was for a 30h workweek. So if you want to hire me full time, I’d need at least a 33% increase of whatever you’re offering.”

@grendel84@tiny.tilde.website when the questions they ask tell you more quickly about a company than any interviews could.

@grendel84@tiny.tilde.website I will never forget the company that published a salary range in their ad, said they were going to hire me but to be hired I had to give them my current salary, and then they offered me less than the lowest salary in their ad. I'm glad they did that because I would not want to work for them.

@grendel84@tiny.tilde.website "I refuse to negotiate against myself" is my answer to this.

@futuresprog@mastodon.nzoss.nz 2024-01-11 22:45
When I was asked about my compensation history I stated that it’s covered by NDA and I wasn’t able to provide it. They made a good offer. Also in their contract their NDA referred to certain information being confidential: the normal sensitive things, and also my salary and perks. I did query that and they confirmed that yes, salary is covered by the NDA. @grendel84@tiny.tilde.website

@jmax@mastodon.social 2024-01-11 23:01
@grendel84@tiny.tilde.website - If I were in charge of a company, I'd include that question, and only hire people who refused to answer one way or another. This is, of course, only one of many reasons I will never be in charge of a company.

@ashguy@hachyderm.io 2024-01-11 23:22
@grendel84@tiny.tilde.website did you consider doubling all of your salaries to see if they'd blindly use it as social proof of your exceptional talent and pay you what you deserve 🤣🤷♂️. Even if you do get called in for an interview make sure you only attend if they actually send you those salary numbers 😂.

@jack_of_sandwich@mastodon.sdf.org 2024-01-12 01:44
@grendel84@tiny.tilde.website Your question is far more relevant to the employment conversation
