Reply to comment by spysnipedis in A job interview ended because I refused to tell them what my current salary was and what my salary expectations were. Is this normal? by RepresentativeError8
And a lot of states (40%) specifically made it illegal for employers to ask your past salary history. So it's important to know what state the OP is in. Because there are many employers breaking the law, that are either doing it accidently or on purpose.

Absolutely this. It’s not like HR has no idea what the position is worth. They can throw out a range to see if you’re both aligned.
If they want you to name your current salary, it’s so they can lowball you, period. And as far as I’m concerned, OP dodged a major bullet. There’s a reason this shit is illegal—it’s exploitative as hell.
Employers are the ones hiring, they can name their range. And if they refuse to—wtf are they hiding?
