Serves you right

The other position is really what I wanted to do. They just couldn’t come up with the money. Accenture showed up with extra on top of what I was asking and I really need that extra salary....

Welp. Sucks to be u. I'm sure U woulda been ok with the salary they offered. Live and learn.

What was the counter?
