Thanks for the insight. Personally I try to firm up a number at the outset that both parties are comfortable with. There should be no reason to deviate from this come offer time if everyone is playing with their cards facing up. Otherwise it makes me question how much a company wants the hire, and/or whether the candidate is joining for the right reasons.
