> It is Bob’s job to get you signed with the company as cheaply as possible... Strictly speaking, this is not necessarily the case (although it might be, but you probably won't make a career at such a company.) Bob's job is to make the company money. If one guy is asking $300k, it doesn't necessarily follow that Bob could hire five guys working for $30k and come out way ahead.
