One of my old employers from several years ago reached out to me begging me to come back to work for them, as most people who they hired after I left were quitting for better opportunities. This has left them in a huge bind, so they looked up my contact info from LinkedIn and reached out.
This is a wonderful employer who I left on good terms and still run into on a regular basis while out and about. I would love to go back to work for them, but I also want to make sure I’m not lowballed on salary.
I fully expect them to lowball me, and I plan to negotiate without spilling how much I make at my current job. What I’m afraid of is their HR team will request exactly what I make and that my current employers HR team will reveal it.
Is compensation something that can be legally obtained from a current/past employer? I don’t want them to screw over any leverage I have.
EDIT: this is in NC/SC area.
