> Your future salary expectations likely have a basis in your current salary.
Not necessarily true. My future salary expectations (or _needs_) may have to do with a previous salary, my cost of living, my recent experience or education, or my financial situation.
I've worked in different cities with different COL and also taken cuts in a down-turned market. My current employer is getting a bargain.
If I apply for a job and am asked for this information, I may say, I make $X but I need $2X for reasons A, B, C.
This benefits me because the response tells me if I am out of their range or if they can help me pay my bills, potentially.
