I'm looking to get out of a toxic work situation. I got hired around 2021, during that time I was never asked for wage desire. Cue this week, two people from two different companies asked me, I answered the first person. The second person asked and I said “it depends on the position”. I think I shocked her, because she started backpedaling, tried to tell me about putting me in a different position than I applied for. With her finally telling me in alot of unnecssary words, not to bother. Btw I'm in NYS if that matters.
The wage range was posted in the job description.
Edit. Added a sentence
