Is hiring a cost or investment? How employers blow job offers

In the March 31, 2020 Ask The Headhunter Newsletter a reader says job offers should not be based on your tax returns. Question I was once asked for my tax returns after a job interview, evidently to determine a job offer. I thought you priced a salary to a job — not what you might have to pay a candidate to hire them. I declined the job because the request displayed the kind of people I would be working for.

Wow. No way do I hand over my tax returns to an interviewer. No way.

tax returns, W2s, pay stubs, all are a no go. If asked I counter with something like "I am looking for a salary in the range of $X - $Y depending on benefits, and other considerations" If they push I decline to move forward. What I make now has no barring on what I should be offered. Of course I have a good job, and have the luxury of being picky.
