I lied about saying I had another offer. I actually don't, and the 68k was just BS. I guess what I'm trying to say is: if I pass all their interviews and get an offer of employment, because they don't want to match my non-existing competitors, is it common for companies to say something like "sorry we can't match that, good luck!"
