I read your post and thinking about my career...If I answered to the salary question like that, probably now I would be unemployed.

I work in Spain and it's mandatory to follow the process, and of course, answer that question. Every time I changed my job I improved my salary. So I don't feel harassed for the question, I saw it like an opportunity to improve.

On the other hand, if I were good enough to be "special treated" I will be able to answer like that. I think that is not the case because I am worker, not a genius.

Maybe I am right, maybe I am wrong, but that is my experience and I need to work with that.
