> Absolutely! I declined multiple offers this summer because they would have been pay cuts. We agree.

This is financially nonsensical. Every month you delay working you have to make more to get the same amount over the course of the year.

Just to make up a number, if your target was $120K and they offered you $110K and it took you a month longer to get $120K, you would need to make over $130K just to reach $120K.

I would take close to what I wanted and then change jobs if something better came along.
