What about listed salary range is $180-250k and you get an offer for $210k. You hold your ground because you think you’re with the $250k. They disagree and let you walk away.
You avoided working for less than you believe you're worth, and the company hasn't employed someone on more than they want to pay. These are good outcomes.
If they list it as $150-200k and you think you’re worth $250k then you won’t waste your time, or theirs
If you can get a job for $250K, it accomplished not getting locked in to a local optimum and paying the opportunity cost for the difference.
