Took the advice from one of the comments on a post here. Ended up getting a job paying 6 figures.

There was a post talking about Salary at some point. (Pretty sure the guy was from another country his new employer asked what he was making previously and he lied) Employer asked what he was making previously and he lied and got a lot more than he would've if he had been honest.

Normally when asked this I would just say like 5 or 10k more than the previous job I had. I was prepared to say a number that would have been 30% lower than what she offered when I took the comments advice. She immediately said a number that nearly put me in tears.

Don't know what post or who said it. But I offer a sincere thank you for the advice.

Edit: I found the post and the comment. Sent the person a message telling them thanks.
