Exactly - there is no such thing as "no negotiation"

At many companies, the offer is made with no negotiation on the table. I suppose some of this is posturing, but the companies acting on good-intent are saying "no negotation -- because we know this is a good/great rate for your experience in the current market".

Not only this, I've seen engineers with 1 yoe way stronger and more mature than engineers with 4+ yoe (that just slacked off somewhere).
