Dean Jones says:

"I'm a bit reluctant to raise your salary all the way from the 25th percentile to the 63rd percentile...After all, that is a lot of money for a fresh Ph.D.! 

Consider this proposal...I'll agree to pay you at the 33rd percentile."

How will you respond?

1. I accept your offer.

2. Would you consider paying me a salary that is at the 61st percentile?  After all, I am teaching multiple summer sessions...
