This is the way that I feel. I feel that when disclosing salary, even when saying I feel I should be paid more has put me at this exact disadvantage.

I don't really care about my conscience. That is a pretty easy thing to get over. I do worry, only slightly, that it may come back to bite me if my current employer discloses my salary. I'm not overly concerned by this as the one recruiter I'm working with has made mention that she just wants a ball park of what I want to make. So I'm happy about that.

My biggest angst is that a lot of recruiters will undersell just to fill a position. I'm trying to avoid that. Especially if I go full time at said position. I don't want to try and fight my salary up again.
