This is not true at all. Getting too high of a salary may increase your chance of getting canned (performance or RIF.) And offering too low of a salary to a new employee may cause problems if the new employee finds out they're paid less than their peers.
- nsxwolf 10y agoYou're never going to convince an employer to give you "too much" money. And employers have no problem low balling you - they really don't think you're going to find out what all your peers make, which is why they discourage the practice of sharing salary information so heavily.
