<prompt> Human: I might be getting a job offer for 37K salary. Thats at the top of a tax bracket. If I negotiate for more, putting me in the next tax bracket, will I end up with less profit or would I merely pay a higher rate for the amount above 37K? Are there are any reasons taking 37K would be better than asking for more?  <response>: No, because this is not how tax brackets work. See the link that the automoderator provided.
