A) high because the firm will think that they do not need to pay you much.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Portraying your switching costs as low will make the firm believe that they need to pay you more to retain you. This can give you leverage in negotiating a higher salary or better benefits. Options A and B are not beneficial, as they may lead the firm to believe that you are not a valuable asset to the company. Option C may also not be beneficial as it may signal that you are looking to leave the company, which could make your current position unstable.
