Yeah, that&#x27;s the smart thing to do, especially when there&#x27;s strong demand for their skills, like from silicon valley. Heck, that would make a great plot for the show of the same name:<p>PP is looking to academia to hire and they informally offer a candidate &quot;100&quot;, by which they mean &quot;$100k&#x2F;year&quot;, but (they later find out) the heavily underpaid post-doc took to mean &quot;$100&#x2F;day&quot;, and they debate whether they should write up the offer letter with the lower amount.
