    That’s illegal? The income question was on every single application I filled out when I was younger. When did it become illegal?

      It is in CA, which is where both I and the company I was applying for were based at the time

        Hmm, I lived in California for a long time and companies definitely asked on a regular basis. Do you know when it was made illegal?

          According to the link I posted in a different reply in this thread, at least since 2018. But also just because something is illegal doesn’t mean companies won’t do it.

      “How much money are you looking for in this role” is very common. “How much are you making right now” is not allowed.

            How is it even legal to pass a law saying you can’t regulate this thing? That seems highly contestable.

              Probably for the same reason its perfectly legal for a state with republican controlled state senate to hold a post-election lame duck session where they shove through a bunch of legislation limiting the powers of the state governor because their guy happened to lose the election

                It would sure be neat if the Democrats were as motivated to pass legislation as the Republicans can be.

                  They’re too busy trying to make their party so big tent that they guarantee no one in it will be able to agree on anything.

          California definitely used to have a shit load of companies asking for salary history. Idk if the law has changed, or if it’s just not enforced.

          Didn’t expect my state on here. It’s a routine question in interviews
