Job hunt:

Old way of thinking. Search jobs. Most jobs pay 100k. Most paying 120k are beyond my experience level so I'm worth 100k.

New way: Jobs pay on some kind of probability distribution. Might be a normal one but who cares. If I apply for enough jobs I can earn with some probability that I control a much higher amount for the same level of work.

yep there was a post here a couple of weeks ago about a guy who applied for 200 or so jobs over 6 weeks, every 2 weeks he increased his pay demanded by $20k ended up going from asking for $60k to $140k or something incredible.

Tried searching for that post but can't seem to find it. Do you remember what it was called?

Sorry I've just tried to search for it again too, think @AustenAllred may have tweeted it?

(went through 3 weeks of his tweets couldn't find it)
