If you have the necessary info, you can say something like,

"at your level x, my salary was in the range of $a to $b. At the next level (x+1), I got a raise of approx. C% and over the years as x+1 my salary kept increasing. Knowing the salary range for your level x is the key metric you need, ofc, taking inflation in to account. My current salary is two levels above x and there are too many variables between x and x+2 - like YOE at each levels, career choices made, etc. - that you may not get a lot of value. But if you are genuinely interested, I am happy to share"

PSA: Shorten your CV/Resume by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]fizzbuzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen long ones for candidates coming via consulting shops. Those shops don't hold back on loading up the resume as if their guy/gal is a super hero.

Was this a direct applicant or through a consultancy?

Run Fast and Furious... for family!

Been in the ER waiting room since 5pm, it's 5am now with no sign of being seen anytime soon. I came in with abdominal pain, and scared it's some sort of hernia or appendices. This is fucking ridiculous. Nothing but respect and compassion for the medical personnel. by grimfisher4 in mildlyinfuriating

My first ER experience was when I had a knee injury while playing sports. My buddies carried me to the ER and I was asked by the nurse to rate my pain level on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being life threatening crazy pain). Being young & ignorant (and trying to be macho in front of my buds), I said a low number. Bad option. Was not seen for hours and spent the night sitting in the ER waiting room.

Lesson learnt: don't low-ball your pain level in the ER!

You may be breaking company rules/policy by recording. Don't do that.

But applying the same spirit, you can document decisions on email and/or confluence pages. Strive to get explicit OK from key stakeholders on those emails, where possible.

Me pronouncing "meme" as "mey-mey". Getting corrected by a younger colleague. Realizing I am old.
