.
do you mind when someone asks you about your salary?

how do you respond to this question?

is it something you should ask or should leave for privacy?

Its very much cultural. In some cultures its deemed acceptable. In the west mainly it is not.

I personaly find it disconcerting and usually answer - "Just a little more than back home" :O)

rizks, it's a crime to ask a woman's age..though as of now i don't feel awkward about it when being asked..;o)

honestly, i really hate being asked about my salary coz i, myself don't do that to others coz it's unethical.. it's suppose to be a private matter not to be disclose to anyone..but only to the closest like husband, father and mother only..

I just say, not nearly enough to maintain me in the style to which I am entitled.

It is by all means a very rude and intrusive question. I in fact find it far more ruder than inquiring me of my age but that's of course IMO.

And I specially find it disturbing when my friends and acquaintances inquire of my husband's salary. I wouldn't ask them such questions,why do they ask me? Obviously cos they know I wouldn't respond rudely and tell them "mind your own beeswax"(though they may deserve it I just can't)!

Its just not right..but why don't people get it?

i knew u were nailing on that answer;)

same here! my words will go that way as well...

honestly, i find it rude when someone asks about the salary. it's like that person is more interested in money than in u as a person.

It kinda feels awkward when a person asks me that >_<

It is some what personal i guess >_<

even when a person asks "what do you do for a living" I kinda feel awkward replying to that as well .
