> it's unfair that I (because I negotiate well) get better options than others

No its not. This is a skill that is useful when exchanging value with other entities (the basis of the economy). You're being compensated for having that skill.

Would you hire a salesperson or head of procurement or media buyer with bad negotiation skills? How about a developer who can't properly negotiate with teams demanding their time to properly allocate themselves where needed?
