I’ve received a job offer from a large Tech company and have been negotiating the base salary. The internal recruiter has now come back asking for my current salary package AND bonus details for the last 2 years before they’ll progress the offer.

I’d already sent a negotiation email outlining my ask and justifying it based on market rate and the scope of the role (being much larger than the JD described).

My questions are:

- Is this standard practice or a tactic to anchor the offer to my current compensation rather than the role’s worth? How to manage?
1 How do others handle this without damaging the relationship or jeopardising the offer?
- If I decline to share, how do I do so professionally without raising red flags?
- What would you do in this situation if you knew your salary is below what you’ve asked for?

Any advice from people who’ve been through similar situations - particularly in tech or financial services - would be really appreciated.
