It seems that most people on here are recommending against sharing your salary. If you are uncomfortable doing so, then the advice below is fine. However, depending on the situation, I think it can be fine to share your current salary. If you are happy with your current role and willing to stay (as in you are just exploring other options) sharing can be a good way to let the recruiter know what it would take to get you to leave. Most recruiters know that people don't leave existing jobs (where they are happy) without a 10%-25% pay increase. Revealing your current salary can help level-set the conversation for both of you. When I am asked this conversation in interviews, I often reply with, "What is the salary range for this role?" Usually they will give me this answer and if not, we can discuss what I am looking for, or what I am currently making and what it would take to get me to leave my current role.
