It is a different world now but the prospects are so much brighter for Jamie. For so long, he was bound to a job and company that had absolutely no vision for what the Internet can do. Last week, he went to a networking meeting and came home on fire with all the innovative, creative ideas that were shared. He wants to be on the cutting edge and that is what would happen with either of these companies.
One of them has been trying to hire him since October but is still in negotiations to finalize a lucrative contract in order to do so. Last week, they hired Jamie as a consultant on another project and told him to name his rate. We vacillated back and forth. We wanted to aim fairly high but not overshoot it. Jamie came up with $50 an hour.
Employer: “How about $65?”
Jamie: “…but that is my final offer.”
