Q: I've been with my company for about 10 years; it's my second job out of college. I've been interviewing for other positions and am often asked about my current salary. I have done my homework and know that I am underpaid by about $15,000 for the position I am in. In fact, people hired in a level below me often get hired at the same salary I make. I know that companies I interview with will make offers based on the salary I make now, but even at a 15% higher salary, I'd not be making up the difference. How can I be honest about my current salary but also command the salary I deserve at a new company? 我已经为现在的公司卖命工作了10年，这是我大学毕业后的第2份工作。我一直在面试其它的职位，经常被问及目前的收入。经过一番调查，我发现现在工作的职位，公司大约少付给我15000美元。事实上，级别比我低的员工经常和我拿一样的薪水。我知道我去面试的公司会根据我现在工资来给我定薪，但即使薪水比现在高出15%，也弥补不了差价。我该怎样在如实承认现有工资的同时，让新老板支付给我更多薪水呢？ A: You've definitely got the right idea to be honest about your current salary. Potential employers can always find out what you earn and it would be the end of an opportunity if a company found out at a later date that you lied about your salary. "It reflects your ethics," says Sheryl Spanier, an executive career management consultant in New York. |
