Post #228,987 by bionerd 10/10/05 6:45:02 PM Reply	I accepted because I knew I was at the top of the pay range for my position. They told me the pay scale and asked me where I saw myself. I told them I expected to get top salary, and then I sold them I why I deserved it. They agreed. Nothing really to negotiate! Jesus was a star last week. Now he's tending bar on Melrose. Welcome to Hollywood.
