I applied and in salary expectation block listed $11k less than I was making with MedTrans. Figured I'd make it up since if you don't take their health insurance they put it back in your salary and I wouldn't have to commute. HR sent me an email and advised salary I listed was above their starting pay and asked me to justify. I've never had a company engage in salary talks before an offer. I already came in with $11k under what I was making, that was as low as I'd go. Told them no thanks, was insulting they'd try and low ball somone that much.
