Subject:Salary -- the other side of the coin From:Beth Friedman <bjf -at- wavefront -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 20 Jul 2001 14:52:32 -0500
Okay, so I've seen a bunch of answers about how to cope if your salary was
too low to be a comparable number for your next job.
Is there any reason not to reveal your salary if you are in fact happy with
what you're making (but would of course, like a bit more)? Lots of people
I know were making very good money -- until their company went out of
business because of the dot-com bust. Or they need a new job because
they're moving. Or there's a new manager the person just can't work with
and wants to find a new job before one of them kills the other.
What advice then?
