This may be the best advice in the whole thread. Once in the Real World, you are free to be an asshole about how you negotiate and just...not stick to your statements of obligation. You suffer consequences only if you have to deal with the exact same person again. But if the org is big they won't really notice.
We're just all so used to schools setting up all the obligations for us and monitoring everything, that taking a more freeform approach is unsettling at first.
