31. "Right, all that matters is if you are happy with the number" In response to In response to 25
I accepted a position once for a salary I wasn't happy with (company wouldn't come up 2.5k to meet my requirements) and I bounced to another company for 20% more a couple days before I was supposed to start at the first company (don't do this at home, folks!).
I probably would've felt some sort of misplaced loyalty if they'd given me what I wanted even though I clearly undervalued myself (well.. at least for 6 months... then I probably woulda bounced anyway).
