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?
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

Punishingly Intricate
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!

Yeah, bumping up the goal seems like a good compromise position. Go you!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Woo, Jesse! Good luck with negotiating, I have no idea how one does that.
