@elite.recruiter: If an interviewer asks what you are currently making, do not panic. And please do not say you signed an NDA. Say this instead: "I am keeping my current compensation confidential but what I can tell you is that I am looking for a total package in the range of X to Y based on the scope of this role and my research into market rate for this level." You are not lying. You are not disclosing a number that anchors the negotiation against you. You are redirecting to what you want not what you have. If they push and say they need a number, say this: "I understand. I want to make sure we are aligned on the scope before I give you a specific number. Can you share the budgeted range for this role so I know we are in the same ballpark?" You just flipped the dynamic. Now they are the ones answering questions.
