<prompt> Human: Hi all,I was offered a job, the salary they stated was lower than what I currently make. I make around 70-80k range, offer was about 2k lower then my current salary Ive not revealed my current salary at this point, however I had to provide a salary expectation when initially applying and my answer was 10k more than their offer is.I asked if there was room to negotiate the salary etc as I feel I bring a lot value and all that, and I was told that I have a good background in one area but none in the other area of the job, so this was the best they could do as its how things work there, unless I was able to provide them proof of my current salary then they could take another look. Ive never disclosed to them what my current salary is.Im not sure if that is normal to ask? My ask was for 10k above my current salary so essential 10k more than their current offer. They dont know at this point their offer was slightly lower than my current salary. I also asked if they could send me the full details of the role through email so I could review everything else and was told the way they do things is verbally over the phone first, and then theyll get the paperwork together pending the results of a background check etc. Guess Im just looking for some input from people who are in the know! :Thanks!  <response>: Im not sure Id want to work for a company that went through with the entire interview process, knowing your salary requirement, only to make such a low offer. As one poster above mentioned, Id be concerned about many other situations Id find myself in while working there. I would have to absolutely hate my current job to even consider entertaining this request. Your current salary offers no useful information to them, as it relates to their role. They seem to be looking for a justification for their lowball offer. Will they rescind their offer of it turns out that you currently make 1,000,000month??? Youre currently employed, you can continue searching for a new job that is a better fit.
