Negotiating salary
The company i just interviewed for are almost done reference/education. The salary range of the post is $85k to $95k. It is a data analytics job in the healthcare industry. They interviewed four and I was the final candidate they selected. My manager resigned from my current company and went to this company who spoke highly of me to department director and HR there. My current salary is $83k that is because the place I work in don't increase salary of staff and below peers in terms of salary. I know ppl less technical than me got better salary elsewhere. I am extremely technical , plus I have master and over 10 years of Healthcare experience. I request $90k to $95k from phone interview. Is that reasonable? Will HR ask what is my current salary? If yes should I lie and say $87k?
