Your salary history tells an important story of how far you’ve come along a career path, so it’s fitting that a prospective employer might be interested in learning more about your past earnings. Yet it’s unfair to take a salary history at face value, because there are so often back-stories that need explaining.
Career experts say you should be prepared to discuss your salary history with a prospective employer, along with any back-stories.
