    Real conversation, not exaggerated. Actually slightly toned down:

    “We offer a competitive salary! It’s $number!”

    “I have 2 offers 10% higher, from a shipping company and a finance company, in the same city”

    “We don’t compete with the finance and shipping sectors”

    “And 15% higher in one of the consultancies”

    “We don’t compete with consultancies either”

    (I think I’m going to put Reigninh Monarch of Norway on my CV. I just don’t compete with King Harald.)
