Re: Wage Advice..
True Story:
I went in for a .com managment job back in early 1999. They had a figure they were prepared that had a $5,000 range. I did my very best to show I was qualified, personable and bla, bla, bla. They ofered the job and asked what I thought I would want. I said the higher figure. When he said ok, I added that I wanted a $5,000 "Signing Bonus" so I could ramp up my clothes and get ready. He said he needed to talk to the CEO , who we had met. I said "ok, call me". On the way home he called and said they would go with the salary and a $3,000 signing bonus! lol!!!!!. ~edit: Who asks for a signing bonus? Me! Hey, it got me $3K! I said "I'll be up to get the check tomorrow and will start in 1 week." True Story. Don't sell yourself short. Quam Esse Videri "To Be, Rather than to Seem" "Be" worth money. Good luck mike
