You answered my question about making a job change recently. After initially accepting the offer, I recanted and turned it down. Later that day the HR Manager left me a voicemail stating management really liked me and wanted to sweeten the offer. I called this morning. Instead of making an offer, she asked me what it would take to get me to come. I gave her a number that was 6% more than what Iwas offered, but still well within the stated salary range. She later sent an email saying she gave the proposal to management and that they were going to pursue other candidates. They didn't even make a counter offer, and said they really didn't think I wanted the job. I thought it was bizarre. (link)

That's not bizzare. 6% more? May not seem like that much but it is! They're obviously going to go look for other just as qualified candidates that will work for the same amount of previously offered. I think you were being way too greedy.

Feedback Changed by DN. This user wasn't being honest with themselves, and every person who told them the truth was rated badly. You gave good advice, and so your rating has been modified, and the user has been banned for cussing out people who took the time to answer.

Original feedback:
Fuck you asshole. This job would require relocation and selling my house. I would have lost money to have taken the job for the original offer. I wasn't being greedy at all, you prick. The people who decided my salary requirement was out of line make a lot more money than I do, and would not change jobs for the increase they offered me.
