If you are unable to make the first offer because the other party is quicker: - Smile, even laugh, and state your counter anchor clearly - Never mention or repeat the other's anchor

+1, which comes back to the low appreciation for hackers :-)

I agree. The minimum salary notation is just stupid, but in engineering it is used often times. In Sales/PM/BizDev I mostly read "We pay 60,000 EUR or above" for jobs demanding 5 years of experience, which makes much more sense than the "2,500 EUR per month" in this advert.

I am a Vienna-based programmer and am looking at job adverts regularly. I fully agree with what you have written, sometimes I feel they mus be joking. There is no appreciation for hackers and what they are worth. Take this advert for example: http://derstandard.at/anzeiger/derjob/d/155533/c-senior-soft... 5 years experience in C++ and only 2,500 EUR gross? Seriously?
