      A smart employer won't nickel and dime you on salary, because they're optimizing for skills other than negotiating salary.

      If they ARE cagey about disclosing salary ladder, fixing the price high (and then conceding by letting it come down) is a good strategy

      The "double and come down" approach is especially good if you're currently underpaid. They might just say "Sure, we can do that"!

      Most people care about 2 things re salary: 1. Can I pay my bills? 2. Am I being treated fairly?

      From the employer side, the key concerns are: 1. Am I being ripped off? 2. Am I paying enough that this person is not a flight risk?

      Remember: a potential employer CANNOT verify your current pay rate. It's illegal for them to ask your current employer. So lie.

      @izs: also remember that at scale they're all managing down to "average" by buying panel/survey data, but that has huge error & lag.

      @slightlylate yeah, for non-executive salaries, those surveys are basically worthless, imo. They say a "senior dev" is $70k/year in CA. bs.

      @izs: of course it is, but that's what folks who don't know better feel they must negotiate against. Huge leverage for employers.

      @izs: it sets up the false "well, the industry average is X, but we're willing to go as high as Y% more" argument.

      @izs: and pretty much everyone who has less than 5 years of experience thinks equity compensation is either a casino or a black box.

          @izs: which, particularly for large companies, is a huge advantage in negotiation. Opacity drives wages lower.
