Applicants with a glass-half-full attitude are great. Unless, of course, they're half-full of futile hopes for a higher salary.

Share your encounters with unrealistic salary expectations when optimism got a little out of hand. Post your comment below. Can your salaries for IT candidates compete? See Dice's Tech Salary Report.
