When a potential Employer asks...

this has come up a few times before.

here’s my previous reply-

giving your salary history is in your own best interest i think.

consider it this way- you wouldnt like to go out for a job and go through the process of interviews, getting excited, etc. then find out the position didnt offer what you expected.

in general I believe that if you give your history and an “expected” salary range within reason, it will help you get a good job with a good fit.

Most employers only really use a past salary range to screen out candidates that would be way too high outta range, and dont really use it to low-ball a salary based on your past jobs.

A good employer will pay a fair salary for the job. Maybe your past jobs might be lower, but it might have been a reason you left, so no sense in making a direct comparison.
