So, has anyone here ever lied about their salary? What are the ramifications of
doing so, aside from being unethical? Can this come back to bite you? Would
you be honest and accept a figure that keeps you at a much lower salary than
you're used to, simply because it's based on what you just made at your
current/previous job?

No. The ramifications for me would be having to live with myself day-to-day
knowing I was a liar. Is there anything other than being ethical? That's what
comes back to "Bite" me. I think the key here is: what is your responsibility
in taking this job? I would not take the job if I had to live in the lie.
I don't think this is techwr-l subject. Can you explain to me why it is for you?
This sounds like "jobwr-l" question :-}.
