That report about the 60% failure rate is really interesting. But the hard part is definitely figuring out the "right" number to ask for. Do you think the best way is to just look at online salary sites, or is there a better trick? I've heard some people say you should find out the pay range for the job before you even interview.

But did he watch the filler or skip it?

I always thought more pressure meant a deeper score. Turns out it just makes the glass want to chip out in weird places. That old guy's advice saved me a ton of wasted material.
