Hi All,
I was contacted by a recruitment agency responding to some role I have applied for. The agent asked me how much was I was on. I inflated my salary to the agent by about 11K. He put me forward for a role with which I had to go through a 3-stage interview process. I demonstrated my skills which I have and I am confident about, and I am ready to deliver any day any time. They gave me an offer because they believe my skill set is right for the job. Btw, it's a software development role so I know what I am talking about else the two lead developer I went through will figure I don't have the skills, but they were very impressed with my skills and i've had had programming sessions and review during the interview.
The interviewers like the skills set I have and the company has offered to bring me on board and the rate i am offered is 59% my current rate. I am being underpaid in my current role and my skills out pace what I am being paid plus I am not happy really working in my current role not because of the money I make, but because what I get to do on a daily basis will not make me grow and learn new things, but rather work on things that are irrelevant to today's best practices.
My worries now is that The P45 which I will get from my current employer will show I earn way less than in my current role. What should I do in this situation?
NB: The company/Interviewers never asked me about my current salary, and we never talk about salary during all the interview process. I only discussed this with the agent initially before he put me forward and I believe he must have told them that figure. In the end, the agent will get his commission
I have not given notice at my current place of work.
Should I worry about this? I don't want to start off as a lair and someone that can't be trusted, but I deserve the pay and even more, but willing to work my way up.
