It's like turning down someone because you're taken. It goes from nods to nudges pretty quick.

- HeyLaughingBoy 16y agoI love this analogy. I was scratching my head at refusing $10k/per day (I can understand it logically, but can't quite grok it), but once you said that I got it totally :-)
- darklajid 16y agoIt's very, very nice to see this article vs. the salary negotiations one [1]. Over there, Jaques mentions that a lot of people suck asking for more money because they just love their job the way it is. Which is kind of a failure if you're on the low end of the pay scale, but this particular thread here shows that it actually ends up being a good thing in the end. IF (big..) you end up in a job that you love and that compensates you enough (not talking about endless greed here..), you're probably among the happiest people out there. Hats off to you guys and I love the "stick to things I love instead of selling myself" attitude. 1: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2309317 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2309317
- veidr 16y agoWhat does that mean, "goes from nods to nudges"? It seemed like some idiom I didn't know, so I googled the phrase 'nods to nudges'. However, this very Hacker News page was the only result, so I am still in the dark.
