“Using a previous salary against you. ‘Oh, you make $40,000? Well, we’ll offer you $50,000. That’s a 25% increase in pay!'”

I do not believe this is even ethically wrong. If they intended to pay you competitively, they wouldn’t need to ask. The only purpose in asking is to low-ball you.

Never tell a prospective employer your salary or even a salary range for any reason. Never give them a number that you aren’t comfortable making, because that number WILL be your new salary if it is below their expected range.”
