+            <h2>One efective but risky way to find the top salary for the vacancy</h2>
+            <p>
+                I've seen a lot of people frustrated with not knowing how much a company is willing to pay for a
+                vacancy. There are multiple ways to find out, which you probably are familiar with if you've been job
+                hunting for some time.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+                But it's only fair that some folks don't know how to get this done. I find job hunting has a lot of in
+                common with dating and finding a partner. Three things they have in common are (1) almost all of us have
+                to go through it, (2) it's very important for us and we're stressed out about succeding or fluking it
+                and (3) when we start out, we know nothing about how to do our part properly.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+                In case this helps you, I'm going to explain you one very simple, quite effective, and very risky way to
+                find out. Before you do this, you should probably try the also simple, a lot safer but not always that
+                effective option of simply asking the owner of the vacancy straight away.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+                So, if that first approach that has failed, this is what I propose instead: provide your compensation
+                expectations, and make them outlandish. For example, let's say you suspect their range must be something
+                like 100-120K. Then, you go and ask 200K. At this stage, most recruiters will go "Oooh, I'm afraid
+                yadiyada that's too much", and in their justification as to why you're too expensive, they will usually
+                confess what's the top of the range, moment in which you should avoid yelling "Aha! That's the salary
+                eh!".
+            </p>
+            <p>
+                It could be that you go for the 200K and the recruiter just says "Okay, that's fine.". In this case, you
+                have failed in exceeding the top, which means you're either pathologically humble, quite misinformed
+                about where the market is at, or maybe both. I guess you still can be happy that you are apparently
+                worth something that you feel is outlandish. Ego boost!
+            </p>
+            <p>
+                On the other hand, if you do manage to exceed their budget, the good news is you'll probably get to know
+                what it is. The bad news is, if you have exceeded their budget by leaps and bounds, you might have a lot
+                of trouble backtracking your stance and convincing them that you're willing to settle for their top (if
+                you are truly interested, that is). This makes this technique exciting and somewhat similar to
+                blackjack: you want to make sure you overstep the top of the range, but you want to do it by the
+                smallest margin possible to keep your options open.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+                For the shy ones: I promise nobody is going to laugh at you or get mad because of yourinsanely high
+                request. It's very likely the recruiter spends its days receiving numbers crazier than yours thrown at
+                them by wackos who are unfit for the vacancy but are just trying their luck.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+                If they do get irritated about it, congratulations! They are idiots and you have managed to find out
+                before you married them, which is going to make your life much easier!
+            </p>
+            <p>
+                Good luck with the job hunt.
