Exactly, Jesse. And fighting voter suppression efforts.

ION, I only had to have conversations with two people about why I think their 3 rating is actually good, when they were terribly insulted by it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hi everyone. Been depressed for awhile after my aunt's death, and terribly stressed by the job search thing. Like, the most stressed out I've been in years....
So I'm sorry to skip 1000 posts and show up with a question, but... should I tell a recruiter what my minimum salary requirement is? I told a recruiter yesterday I'd get back to him with a minimum salary number, but I've since read that's a bad idea.
Because the recruiter works for the company doing the hiring, they could just pass that info to the hiring company, giving them a big advantage in salary negotiations.
If I don't give him a minimum salary, what should I say?
The recruiter says the company with the job I'm interested in hasn't posted what the salary range would be, which is why he wants my minimum salary requirement (and my preferred salary).

I'd give your preferred number as your minimum and go up from there. Don't low-ball yourself!

Is the minimum a negotiation point or set in stone with a laser-grid defense system and highly trained attack geese?

Tommy, Ask A Manager always says not to tell your salary history, because the salary of any given job should be based on that job's skill and requirements, not the applicant's history. You might look at her archives for how to navigate this.

Thanks for the advice, guys!

Of course, without thinking, I told the guy my current salary yesterday. But my current salary (at least before my pay cut) was pretty high, because my boss almost always contributes the maximum amount to his retirement account that is tax deductible, and he's required to contribute the same percentage to me, so I've been getting a lot of my compensation that way.
(I've never used a recruiter before. Must be more careful.)

Oh no, the attack geese! One more thing to be stressed about. :)

Good luck, tommyrot! I hope the job search is way easier than expected.
