Lol it's a buyers market when the mass exoduses start

Oh. Totally blanked on simple economic theory of supply and demand. I guess that makes sense. I guess I'll wait till the supply reduces then.

You should got for a % increase. Year over year raises will be smaller than consulting. You'll need an upfront jumpstart

And just read the above two comments. Nvm me
