Hi,
I'm leaving my job soon and want to use this opportunity to increase my salary.
I'm a software developer and underpaid by todays market.
A lot of the jobs I'm considering are looking for my current salary.
I'm afraid if I tell them my current salary, they will not meet the salary I'm requesting.
Firstly, do they have the right to ask me my current salary and would it look bad if I refuse to answer the question?
I'd rather not lie to any future employer (especially considering they will see my P45 and exact wage).
Thanks for the help
