The Grab recruiter asked me my current TC saying that they do not have comp structure needed to have current comp to nego their CEO to agree on the comp. When I said no to her she said cannot proceed until I disclose the TC. Is this legit?
Recruiter cannot ask for your current tc if you are in California. I'm not sure where you are
Really? Fb totally asked me, and said they need to know because they offer competitive compensation..
In Cali it’s not. This sounds shady. They most certainly do have a comp structure unless they are a small company or disorganized. The legal risk of just winging salaries
Hit send by accident. If they are just winging salaries, it puts them at legal risk for discrimination by pay and could create other problems
The legal/ethical reason why they shouldn’t ask is a different issue from what sort of answer you should give to that question. I’ll assume you’re in Seattle anyway. So give the most advantageous answer, e.g., you are expecting to get promoted and the comp would be in some starting range with X% more to grow
Grab Seattle? Are you on Theo’s team?
How is Grab? Is it interesting place with good opportunities? I read Steve Yegge’s post, but as someone said here according to him it is the best place the world has seen. :)
Sounds like they are trying to figure out how to price the person they get to replace you at the place you’re leaving.
Ask them what range they have in mind for you
In NYC as well, u can’t.
are u saying both external and internal recruiters can't ask for tc in nyc? because all external recruiters do in my experience, can one just say no and proceed?

Lol they usually reject you after knowing your comp is too much to pay... i gave them a number and they were like “ok we like you but we pass for now”

Depending which state you're in they can or can't ask that. Either way that's total garbage and just a way for them to try to keep your comp to a minimum
