I started getting emails from Amazon recruiters about every 3 days for the past few months, and I have no idea what caused me to pop up on their radar.
That it's a conversation between two people, one being new to the forum and the other being a long time user, both being experienced in their fields and having valid points.
Microsoft and or/the vendor make side income from what the average user does in bing, preinstalled crapware, cut on games in Microsoft store sales, etc.
Personally, I don’t need the most money somebody is willing to pay me. I need enough money for my goals in life. In fact, I’ll happily accept a number that’s lower than an employer’s maximum because it makes me a good value.
If their number is less than my number, I ask for my number plus a little bit and they say either yes/no. No stress and I’m perfectly happy either way.
