Salary negotiation

Hi guys, I have cleared 5 round of interviews for an IB job (associate level) and have now a conversation with HR about compensation who requested proof of my compensation at my current company.

I come from a different industry and my current salary is about 50% of the average for IB associates in my location.

Is HR going to use my current salary as baseline for an offer? How does it work? Should I negotiate and what should I expect?
