Why salaries and comp are closely guarded may be an interesting .debate

I'm in the process of finding a new employer now, and I'm using
recruiters (headhunters) for the first time.  What am I supposed to
answer when they ask what I make?  I'd rather not tell them, but I also
don't want them to fail to pass on my resumes as a result of my being
difficult.  The truth is, that I make about half of what I'd like to be
making at the next place, but if I admit how little I'm making I'm
afraid I will be taken less seriously.

Any advice anyone?

Hmm.  Tell them the truth?  Or at least tell them what you'd like to be
making.
