A potential employer will often base their offer on your current salary. If you feel comfortable sharing, you should be transparent about your most recent earnings and be prepared to back up any salary requests. However, you are not obligated to give your current salary if you are uncomfortable sharing. If you do not want to divulge your current earnings, you can politely explain that you feel that information is private, but you will be happy to negotiate compensation for the role based on industry standards.
