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? |
Yeah so again, to re-iterate my point, unless you provided specific permission for company to check and run background check, you are fine.
Agreeing to "let them contact your employer" is not the same thing as background check... you think that just because they called your manager, he/she is going to tell them your salary? no bro...
so don't worry, you are fine. I'd start worrying when they run a background check... ( btw this is NOT always before you start a job, that's not true at all. Some companies check during your first 3-6 month probation or 1 year after you're employed... It is 100% company based )
