Had an interview with a TINY firm. Pretty much one partner and one associate(that i would replace as they are moving). Partner said PY they made 900k. He then says if you do 20% of the clients for 180k you tell me how much you want of that 180k. Okay so how do i say i want at least half of that when i have 1.5 years experience.... current associate said he made 40k year one and 50k year two...soemthing doesn’t add up???

What is your current salary? 1.5 years is not a lot of weight for you to be pushing the salary request much higher than what you currently make.

You say it with a straight face but expect reality to simmer you down. Meaning ask for what you want and be prepared not to get it. What are their engagement margins? With just 2 ppl, I assume pretty high around 65% where the partner draws his income from profits after bills are paid, mostly your salary which means he’s probably not willing to do more than 35% of revenues. Your experience doesn’t command more than that but their circumstances might.

Sounds like you're being offered a commission-based role instead of a salaried role. You can make tons of $ but it will be hard. Ask more questions about # hours required and the type of work.

I wouldn't do it, because I like the stability of a salary, but for you, you could learn a ton and figure out how to be entrepreneurial like the head honcho

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.
