That's the gamble, correct.

If you're slaving in interviews and only have one offer, I can see why the offer is compelling. In this current market, I totally get it. But just a couple short years ago, the parent poster's approach was probably sound.






Also people don't always interview when they are jobless. If you are already employed with a salary of $0.9X, gambling between $X and $1.25X makes perfect sense.
