Consider the other possibility, where you are the best, period (which is how you should really think of yourself IMHO). You get two offers, one from a company like SO, based on a system of rules, and another one based on personal judgement (it might still be based on a system of rules, but that aspect will not be advertised to you, which is key). And if the two offers are about the same, you will likely choose the latter, simply for the slight difference between "our system values you at $$$" vs "we value you at $$$".
