To be perfectly honest, 87% of candidates who go through the process and take a job, go with a company OTHER than the one that made the highest offer.

In fact, many more interview requests get rejected for "not interested in the company/industry" rather than insufficient compensation.

It's almost always more about the opportunity & the company, rather than the pay.

For sure, I don't disagree with that. As a developer though, one reason I would try developer auctions is for a chance at some ludicrously high salary. I'm just wondering if that is the reality or not. Seems like it isn't.
