Man, after seeing this,I’m ready to find new gig!
Love this place which finally no people can fool employees anymore and trick them get lower pay than the market.

But managers and business would hate this place.

Whoever first launched this kind platform, I love them!

That is a great offer but in about 90% of the cases, you can ask for and receive more. There are some great books on how to improve your negotiation skills like Getting to Yes, Getting More, and Never Split the Difference. Additionally I'm always happy to chat about negotiating for more money. I check LinkedIn more often than here, so if helpful, feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn at www.linkedin.com/in/alanjstein
