Including AWS or any other bonuses is retarded. That makes 0 sense. By definition,

Nothing you can do. Just pray they don't ask you to sign background forms allowing them to perform full background check and check your income tax / CPF etc or ask you for your previous company's payslip.

Imo you're overly worrying about this. Also pretty stupid to assume that companies will pay you close to your previously drawn salary... who told you this ********? like that no one would ever job-hop because they will earn the same amount so why bother?

The application form already stated by signing I gave the company permission to contact past employers about 'job performance' (does this mean they won't verify salary? ). So I don't think they will ask me when they do background check, which I think should have been done before the offer, not when a person is hired. I also feel that I'm overly worrying but can't be helped for my stupid moment of folly.

I've been lowballed for the most part of my career. They always say 'but your last pay was XXX' or some ********. If not, why do you think I wanted to inflate this time to see if the same **** happens again?
