I actually believe it's unethical for companies to keep ask this question.
The company should publish their salary range for the position and let candidates self-select. https://twitter.com/Kunnish/status/1352308172988555265

Since companies will ask anyway, here are some strategies for you the candidate:
- Do your research, find out the salary range for your level of experience. This will give you confidence throughout the process. You won't be wondering if you're being lowballed

- If it's early in the process, try to avoid giving a number. Instead, ask if they can share their salary range for the position.
- One question you should absolutely not answer is "How much are you currently making?" It's none of their business.
Changing jobs your opportunity to get a salary increase or finally get paid what you're worth. You jeopardize that by telling them your current salary.
