On the contrary: on today's candidate market company is interested to give the best offer it can afford, to close the position with suitable engineer.

That doesn't make sense for the same reason individuals should negotiate.

The market is currently incredibly hot, which drives up average wages. But a good company will make a sensible offer on the low boundary with a willingness to go up. Then if someone offers you 4k more at least that sets me a marker.

You never been in position when you desperately need to fill several engineering roles but can't find suitable candidates for weeks, right?
