I open with my base price, which is several times what most firms plan on offering.
"Hi, thanks for reaching out. I'm very happy where I currently am. Lemme know if you can beat ${2X FAANG Total Comp), 5 wks vacation, and fully WFH (before COVID was a thing), with a great collaborative culture dealing with scaling highly available systems. Cheers!"
Usually, the response is, "wow, great gig. We will circle back at a later time."
