While your sentiments are presumably bias-free?

I think everyone has bias, but I do think issues can be discussed without letting your biases supplant reason
What I meant by signalling bias was I felt the gp was allowing bias about the issue cloud reasoning as to the nuance of the issue
If my comment seemed to imply that I deny nuance then I failed to communicate my point
Which was: sometimes pay is a result of other factors other than either a want or pure negotiation

Thanks, I think that's a much better criticism of the original argument
Interviews scheduled during work hours, already working multiple jobs, burnout, lack of openings in your field
> It hardly is THAT hard to get some competing offers. And if you can't be bothered, I guess you don't really want it anyway?
This sentiment signals bias
Competing offers? For what? Serving coffee? Washing dishes? DBA? CTO?
If you offer anyone with a job more money my guess is 100% would take the extra cash, so just because they fail to find, or look, for more cash how does it imply they 'don't really want it anyway'?
