A big problem with offering $85,000 for a position budgeted at $130,000 is that very soon the person to whom you are offering the position is going to find out (even if you do not tweet about the whole situation).
And when they do, two things will happen.
First, they will feel cheated, demotivated, disengaged. They won’t be able to perform at their best, because nobody does when the counterpart sees the relationship as a mere transaction.
Second, they will start spending most of their resources to be paid what it is fair for them to be paid, whether that is at the company or somewhere else.
Was the hustle worth it?
