Do you think fudging either way would have any impact on the
situation? It might go like this:

Employer: "OK, we're offering $75k plus benefits. Do you want the job?

Propsective employee: "$75K...that's absurd. I saw on Glassdoor that
they've said you pay $90k."

Employer: "Ohmygod...you're right! What the hell was I thinking? $90k it is!"


Guys...there is no reason to fudge the rates. The site gives what it
is...not what we want it to be,.
