I was asked what my current salary is during one of my on-site interviews at FAANG. I had to put on a poker face and lie about it.
And you mentioned that you lied during the interview regarding your salary. In India, companies usually ask for 3 months salary slip as proof. Does it not happen in the country where you work?
Lying about my salary was a huge gamble, I guess. But since the FAANGs are based in the US and I wasn't, I was counting on them not asking for the IRS tax returns since I obviously didn't have one.
Maybe. Where do you live?
>Where do you live?
Southeast Asia where my total annual expenditure is less than $10k USD. Thanks to this I'm putting more than 50% of my gross salary into my retirement savings. Despite my low salary I probably have higher net worth than most HNers.
