Yes, I understand that others think it matters; I never implied otherwise. Aside from that, it matters not one bit what "X" is, except in the circumstance where an employer wishes to gauge whether he can offer less than he's prepared to.
- joeclark77 12y agoEvery rational human being at all times should be gauging whether they can get more for less. You're imagining sinister motives where there's no need for them. If your second best offer is, let's say 75k, why would the hiring manager offer you 100k when he could get you for 85 and you'd be happy? Just because "he's prepared to" pay 100? I'm "prepared to" pay $4 a gallon for gas, but I'm not going to offer it if the gas station will take $3.
