A company offers you an $80k salary for a new position, you counter offer with $100k, and they say they'll call you back. A couple days later they call and you both agree to $95k. Is that you "fighting the good fight with skills the market doesn't value as much as you thought?" Or is it negotiating to find the true market value that you are willing to accept and the company is willing to pay for your skills?

  If both sides agree to a price then that's a very local market value. If lots of people on both sides agree to a price then that really is market value.
