If you think you are worth more, ask for more. Some things I usually keep in mind.
1) Always ask for more than you think you will get. The worst they will say is no. 2) It's a negotiation. They are agreeing to give you something (money) and you are agreeing to give them something (skill). 3) Ask for perks. You mentioned vacation - if the money thing won't budge, ask them to pay for a Flex class or to send you to Adobe Max. 4) Always have options. Know what you are worth and who else is hiring. Educate yourself. 5) Be prepared to walk away from an offer. (just make sure you did #4 first) -Cameron morchella wrote: > so i was just offered a position today. > will get it in writing tomorrow. > i have been there 4 months as a contractor. the offer is 10k below what they > verbaly offerd me 2 months ago > is it ok to counter splitting difference or could that get me in shit? > just curious what others have done? > i did get them to bump me from 2 weeks of V to 3 > and get to work e-mote 3 out of 5 days. > > i know my honey will just want me to take it and be thankful. > i am kinda ticked its not what they said it would be and it has taken then 3 > months to even get to this point! > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:256435 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
