Not an answer to the question, but pertinent. I'm hiring and I recently extended an offer to someone and that person responded by saying it wasn't enough money.

Not an answer to the question, but pertinent. I'm hiring and I recently extended an offer to someone and that person responded by saying it wasn't enough money. Our HR department and I went through all the different salary surveys and we determined our offer was fair. The person countered by saying That was the amount of money that they needed. I said okay please submit a consulting contract. They submitted a consulting contract with someone else's name on it. I called them and they said "oh yeah, you caught me, I was trying to bill two different companies for full time." Not hired.
