It’s not the phone call that’s key, it’s all the research ahead of time
I did my research fairly good however what I am asking is the criteria of your research?
What is the point of this thread? Now the OP just wants shopping/negotiating advice
YES, what is wrong with it? It is a forum to share experience and tips not showing how great I am! or satisfy your ego!
HAHA Closing a post to prevent any response and then put your opinion there! I was right it is about your EGO! But here is my comment idiot!
Different perspective
Fortunately when you spent all that time reading the forum before joining, you read all the threads about negotiating, right?
When you’ve read all the experiences and tips that have been shared in the past, you can begin to ask informed questions.
Starting off with stupid conspiracy theories as a Segway to be spoon fed advice in the name of “sharing” is not how it works.
