How would you negotiate a salary at Google?

Microsoft used to be able to do that because their stock kept on going up and up. Less so now. Same with Google. I don't think Google (or any other "big name" employer) is as impressive on a CV as they would like to think. If you took say 75% of the market rate salary now thinking that it would get you 150% of the market rate when you jump ship in n years, then you might be in for a surprise.

Hey, I wouldn't do it. I'm just saying, sometimes when HR tells you they have an official policy of paying 60% of market, they aren't kidding.

Gotta wonder if HR are on 60% as well...

I'm pretty sure you can get HR people from a one-click shopping listing at Amazon.
