Whenever I wanted to be offered more money at a job interview I lied about how much I make at my current job.
Do you think you had to lie to get the better offer?
I think I did in order to get it.
While it can be understandable to want to make more money, this was not the right way. Lies during an interview can come back and bite you later on.
Whatever, I got the job, who cares if the job thinks the wrong salary is.
Everyone wants to make more money, but if your new job ever finds out that you lied to steal more money from them then you will lose your new job. Do you think it is worth the potential of losing everything for some extra cash?
