>If you say 210, are you going to absolutely refuse any offer that's less than that?
I, for one, tell the number, which if was given to me during negotiation would result in acceptance on my part.
> You've already hypothesized that the manager's actual range is 200-250
And I have not hypothesized the range, in my example I speculate why people believe they would have been offered more than they asked for if they did not ask first, this is the hypothesis, not the actual range.
>But you're not going to get more, and that's what you should be thinking about
It's trivial to raise it if you suddenly decided you can get more, just say you have another offer for $X+10K, but you like the company so much you are willing forfeit 10K. More so if you can actually secure such an offer. This is why negotiating down from already satisfactory for both sides comp is a bad strategy for the HM.
