This is right up there with other shitty questions such as “What’s the lowest you’ll take?” when I put things on Craigslist.... I usually respond to those questions by adding $10 to whatever I had it listed for.

We had the flip side - a hiring manager who was incredibly intense during interviews. He was already completely bald (by choice). Deadpan delivery of everything.

To that I say fair point...but I wouldn’t want to work anywhere where someone can’t take a joke nor laugh throughout the day.

Unless you are completely desperate for a job, you probably don’t want to work there anyways.

First of all, asking this is a shitheel way for a future employer to attempt to lowball or rule you out as too pricey.

Does this still work for fields where $100,000 is a reasonable salary?
