I have 10 years of experience and I am constantly interviewing in case something better comes along. Somehow other recruiters manage to not break the law just fine.

I am a woman in tech and women can get fucked over by not negotiating or being underpaid for one job, and then that follows them for the rest of their career. Which exactly why this law was passed and should be enforced.

You're missing the point. It is illegal to ask that in California. It was made illegal because it's so common and problematic for the interviewee.

It's illegal dude. It's not a hard concept hehe
