Read a story recently along this line.
Guy interviewed for a job, and was asked what he was currently making (he was making around $40,000/yr).
He simply said "You can't afford what I'm making now, but I'm here because this is a place I'd like to work better than my current employer, how about you make me a reasonable offer based on what my skills are worth to you?".
They persisted and asked if he was making more than $80,000? He answered "Doesn't really matter, why don't you make me an offer....".
Interviewer went to his manager, and came back with an offer of $95,000.
"Well, I suppose I could accept that.... I DO like what you have to offer".
He had been working there two years when he finally admitted he'd been making $40,000 previously. It was worth a laugh.
