<prompt> Human: My current job helps pay graduate school tuition up to 5000. A dream job posted for another company and Im going to apply. If Im making 40k, but Im factoring in this extra 5000 a year, should I report my salary as 45k? Or should I leave this for the negotiations later on? Also Ill have to pay back last years tuition assistance if I leave, so Ill owe my employer 5000 when I leave. Should that come into play at any point?  <response>: They dont need to know your current salary. If they have a field for it, leave it blank. If they press you, tell them 25 higher than you actually make now, so a bit above 50k.
