"How much are you going to pay me?"

Sure, but the 'correct' answer to that question depends on a lot of other factors related to the job. If you want me to work long hours, doing dull, morally dubious, work in a high stress environment you're going to have to pay me a lot more.



You are looking at the other factors to justify the smaller pay than you know you are get elsewhere. Should you be telling people about how much money you make you would be using a word "but" followed by the list of these factors.

Sleep on that.

Absolutely. Money is just one of many factors I consider when choosing a job. I see no 'shame' in that. I honestly have/earn enough money to cover all my expenses, so getting a bit more isn't that super important to me. As long as you meet my floor I'm willing to negotiate away money for other perks. I'd rather have time to spend my money rather than just more money.
