Shock me with up to 20 percent over what you believe i expect to pay. Not any more.
therefore if you're an engineer and the typical job is 100 thousand, ask me for 120 if you want to play this game. It is unlikely this would shut down the conversation though it may send up a warning flag.
Anything over that and I don't see a point to continue the conversation. I wonder if you are clueless about your value or if you are a diva who will cause too many headaches later. You can't take it back either.
