Ask HN: Interviewing at a Startup - Should I Lie About My Salary?
First off, I just want to say that I would never advocate lying in an interview ever however I have heard from multiple sources that inflating your salary anywhere from 5-10% has now become the norm, as most companies will not investigate a potential employee's previous salary as long as it is within a reasonable range. I'd love to hear what the community has to say on this. How great is the risk here and if you could be potentially making an additional (say) $10,000+ a year isn't taking the risk justified?
