OMG OMG. I was just offered a job. At slightly less than I was making before to start, to go up to what I was making before in 4-6 months. It's really a minor difference. Of course, I was hoping to get a bump up, but Boston v. NYC, blah blah blah. I can't figure out how much of an issue I should make of the salary thing. Ask that the goal amount be higher?
YAY OFFER!!!!!
Eeeee!!! But now I need to figure out how to negotiate! Yikes.
YAY OFFER!!
WOOHOO JESSE!!!!! Good luck w/ figuring out the negotiations. I think asking that the goal amount be higher seems reasonable.
Has anyone heard from ita?
Yes, she'll be home shortly. I suspect she'll be posting soon after that.
Go Jesse! Congrats!
I hope ita's thing went OK...
Now I have to figure out my wardrobe! And remember how to get out of the house!
