It's bad, but it's not impossible. I got an improved offer from one company when I told them I was going to accept another company's offer. And then I accepted the other company's offer, because it was the best move in my career. I've ended up with some surprisingly rare skills that end up being desirable to some niche companies.

So I won the negotiation game with the first company by truly not wanting the job. And I got the rational desired outcome of negotation with the second, by having the right skills and right luck at the right time.

None of us would be feeling pessimistic about our career prospects if we had OpenAI experience.
