"What’s Your Current Salary?" BEST ANSWER (Former CEO Explains Why "I'm Under NDA" is WRONG!)

"What's Your Current Salary?" The Best Answer You Should Use!
The Truth About Salary Questions in Interviews (Don’t Fall for This Common Mistake!)

Job interviews often come with tricky questions - one of the most common being about salary. Whether you're asked about your current salary or your expectations, how you answer can make a big difference. Many candidates struggle with this question - especially when they're unsure of the best approach. A common but misguided response to salary-related questions is claiming to be under a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). While it might seem like a reasonable excuse, it’s actually a red flag to recruiters and hiring managers. In reality, it’s very rare for someone’s salary to be under an NDA, and using this excuse could signal to the interviewer that you're being evasive or dishonest. When it comes to salary, it’s crucial to handle the situation with professionalism and confidence - and there’s a right way to do it. Many job seekers are unknowingly giving away information that can be used against them in negotiations. Understanding how to navigate salary discussions will not only protect your privacy but also help you present yourself as a strong and informed candidate. Understanding the true reason behind salary questions and how to answer them effectively is key. It’s important to be prepared, know your worth, and handle these questions in a way that works in your favor.

There is a big difference between what you learn in business school, and what you need to know in the real world – just ask any startup founder or business owner! My goal is to focus on the real-world aspects of business, giving practical tips and tricks that are not usually covered in school.

This channel is a platform to help job seekers, entrepreneurs and business owners succeed. It is also to help the world at large to be more effective and successful in their careers. The world can certainly use more inspiring leaders, more successful entrepreneurs, more employed job seekers, and more capable managers - that is what I would like to help bring about.

Who Am I?
I am a practicing management consultant, former CEO, and entrepreneur. I have led many businesses to success, as well as several startups. Among other things, I have an engineering degree, and a master's degree in finance.

I have worked across five industries, and have worked in both large enterprise and small businesses. I have also mentored startup founders and teach business and HR at a post-graduate level.

Why I Want To Involve My Community:
The only way this channel will succeed is with YOUR help. In order to know how best to proceed, I need constant feedback from YOU. What topics should I cover? What challenges are you facing? What questions do you have? What changes should I make?

Thank you for being here and reading this, best of luck, and have yourself an amazing day!
