Alternate documents for Employee verification?
My new employer asked for my previous offer letters and salary slips. When I inquired, they said it was for background verification.
However, I feel that providing these documents might affect salary negotiations, and it feels a bit unethical too.
What alternative documents can I provide for employment verification?

Interview Preparation Tips
Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - 1. I applied for the role which was a related to Data Management and Automation.
2. Interview questions were average and answerable.
3. They sounded like they wanted an 'All Rounder' who can perform duties related to any role within the team and they called it "Cross Functional". Skill-set / Role may go for a toss.
4. They were desperate for resources. You may negotiate and get a better pay hike :P
5. Had hopes with this company but decide to skip after interview experience.
BEWARE, You may be exploited!
