I understand that, i am confused about the 'pulling the job offer'. You mean from the guy or off the market? Because it's pretty commonplace that if a guy for a 60-80 offer asks for 80 without having the skills to warrant it, he's not getting the job. Doesn't mean the offer gets pulled from the market though, just that the guy isn't getting it.

If a guy is offered 60 and asks for 80, that's a 25% increase. Like I said before, anything over 5% without a really good reason is justified to pull an offer without a "firm". That still doesn't negate that the 5% is basically built into every offer I've ever seen, and I've hired roughly 30 people for 4 different large organizations in the past 15 years. Not a huge sample, but enough for me to know a consistent theme when I see one.

I can see that, but the premise is that it's one guy for the offer, not 10 or 20 as it generally is. You can negotiate extra 5% if you're the only one, but if you're basically intern level like OP... you have 20 other dudes jumping at the offer. In this case... negotiating higher salary is really fucking stupid,
