So honestly in this day and edge should be asking what your current salary is as it is illegal in many states. They should be asking what it would take for you to make a move from your current organization.

First, the qusetion I need to ask is where do you live? 21 states have banned the salary history question.

When a recruiter asks you to take the same salary you say, no thank you, and find a new recruiter.
I guarantee men aren't asked to make a lateral move.
We, as women, need to demand our worth and hold true to our salaries in order to close the gap.
