<prompt> Human: My brother has a great opportunity to work for a large bank in the US. They are asking for his paychecks before providing an offer letter deep into the interview process, I can only assume this is because they dont want to offer too much or too little. Is this something that is common practice? What is the best way to proceed?Note: This is a lower level mid entry position pay probably between 35-55k if I had to guess. Thank you -  <response>: I could see it being part of an internal background check or something more importantly, requesting tax records, being a bank and all. But no, this would absolutely not be normal before a job and salary offer is made. In that case it would happen after the offer was accepted, but before they were allowed to work the floor or handle the money.
