Negotiation is an art and a science. It can be very difficult to do successfully, especially if the initial offer you've been given is so paltry that it will take a lot of work to get up to a range that you're comfortable with. If you're offered so much less than you're initially looking for, it might feel pointless to even negotiate at all, or you might get flustered by the low salary and not be able to continue the interview in a professional manner. That's exactly what happened to this job seeker, who was offered the lower end of the salary range after the recruiter initially said his experience would've qualified him for the higher salary. Instead of groveling on the ground and trying to get that larger salary out of them, he simply said that he would put in less work if he was making less money, guaranteeing that he wouldn't get the job.
