Three agencies in six years huh? Why? Are you just dissatisfied everywhere?

I'm on my 3rd in less than 5 years. First job I was hit with a retrenchment. Second job I watched the account that was paying my salary fall apart, so I jumped ship just before the wheels fell off, avoiding yet another retrenchment. On my 3rd job now and also moved to an ECD position and you have a problem with that?

Tell them or your recruiter you make 100k and ask for 120k. They'll probably settle for 110-115k. At least that's what happened to me.

Also where you're located is important. I was in NY at the time

I think moving to a new company will give you a much better chance at asking for a larger amount.

I would shoot for $120k and let them lowball you to $110. Or give them a range and they will pick a number in the middle.

All that said, it also matters how your portfolio looks.

Instead of “lowball” pretend I said “talk you down.” Does that help?

Depends geographically where you are. No reason in NYC or LA that you shouldn’t be making around $100K to $110K even.

Ask for 127. Always ask for an odd number.

Thanks, that’s great to know. 🌈

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

Yesterday he said he found a UK project having an onsite opportunity and said that the respective manager will contact.
