It's not about the basic math but negotiating if they can do better, also saying that they shouldn't even bother proposing you something in the lower part of the range. I deal with non-US shops as well, it is surprising how many o

But you never find out that the actual range was 180-250k.

Exactly! I believe there were rumors suggesting Nvidia involvement, but it was never confirmed. I wonder what the outcome was, did anyone become a "Certified C++ Grandmaster"?
