| Agreed. I just counter this by offering up my Salary during the first few interactions unprompted. Example: Hi Mr. Nice Recruiter/Employer, Thanks for getting in touch. My current position pays X/year and offers (1 very important perk to me). It sounds like a great opportunity and I would love to learn more ... See how easy it is? The best will give them the "Premium Pricing" advantage and everyone else will now fight from rock bottom. I can't wait to see the results in a few years time when meaningful studies have been done. My prediction: - Total pay goes down (inflation adjusted). - It will create a larger gender eage gap since aggressive and ambitious males will game these bullshit red tape.
