It seems that consulting is a lot like graphic design...
I recently got an awesome, salaried, full-time, from-home job with benefits for about 2.5x more than I was making before. I briefly negotiated this job with my new boss and experienced what a consultant told me about how to negotiate a wage:
The night before you do this, stand in front of a mirror. Offer an absolutely astronomical sum, and grin like an idiot. Then, slowly lower the price. Repeat this process until you can keep a straight face. That's the amount you want.
Of course, after holding college jobs for such a long time, "middle class" seems filthy rich to me.Labels: design, jobs, money, people, psychology |
