Excerpt from the link: "We started with base pay. I wrote down the least I would work for and asked them to write down the most they would offer a perfect person, irrespective of whether I was that person or not. If when we exchanged papers, their number wasn’t higher than mine then we could stop there and save time. Their number was twice the best base pay I had ever received in past jobs, and my request was for $0." I am not understanding. The least he would work for is nothing? That can't be a "start base pay", can it? Could someone clarify? Thanks!
