<prompt> Human: Here is my current situation: My current employer has been underpaying me for a while ..say I currently make 70k and while the industry standard is 85k I was contacted by a recruiter from a big company through Linked In and he was super interested in my profile and accomplishments I was asked to fill some basic information and current salary in an informal questionnaire.. I LIED about my current salary mentioned 80k and wanted an increase of 5-10 over it.. I know my moral compass is broken.. One thing followed another and I now have a firm offer from them for 90k I am now asked to fill the formal employment application, which includes a section on salary history I will then be subjected to a background check after formally accepting the offerHow do I come clean from this situation?Edit1Here are the wordings on the waiver form:I hereby certify that I have carefully reviewed and approved the foregoing information supplied by me and that this information is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I expressly authorize xxx and any person associated with any Educational Institution, past or present Employer, any Law Enforcement Agency or Court, the Department of Motor Vehicles, all necessary Government and Private Agencies, Workers Compensation, all Credit reporting Agencies to release this information to xxx for the purpose of being considered for employment.What should I do with this?Edit 2: Here are the updates:1. Since 90K was their first offer, I am now negotiating for 100K. 2. Also, I have added a clause that, I would only be willing to resign only after their completion of background check and only upon receiving the outcome in writing 3. During the background check they are forbidden to contact my current employer4. I am leaving the salary history column blank for the moment.Edit 3:1. They did not agree to 100K2. But agreed to complete the background checks before I turn in my 2 weeks noticeEdit 4:1. In the release form, I specificaly mentioned NOT AUTHORIZED TO CONTACT my current employer2. Did mentioned 80K in the salary section3. They are OK with not contacting my current employer  <response>: If they ask, tell them the salary you listed includes your entire benefits package and was the number HR gave you back when you accepted the position with your current company.
