But current salary drawn is a field that always appears in any job application and I was just wondering if anyone has firmly refused to divulge it in a prospective interview based on the fact that honestly, it has no bearings or whatsoever on your future salary.
Current salary will always determine future salary. What you think should be the correct way to set salary is irrelevant.
