@lucifargundam gotta love the bailouts, another version:
<< passes a test
>> you did best on our test!
<< goes through 2 interviews
>> ok, great, we have a lot of work for you, keep you busy for a while, full-time and all, when will you be available?
<< communicates the potential switch with current employer and specifies a timeline
>> half you proposed rate!
<< comes up with the most polite way to flip them off
