Heh...when I was offered the job here, I didn't accept right away but I also didn't ask for more than they offered: I was so floored at the difference from my old job. Looking back, I probably could have gotten a bit more.

There are those of us who sell ourselves short...but you won't get it if you don't ask for it. Think of yourself as being someone who would be very beneficial for the company: if you can do things that they would typically need two people for...you can use that as leveraging.

60 is a very nice salary, imo. For me to get that high I would probably have to go into director or asst director (meaning I need a masters degree) and I just don't want to go there.

An anonymous poll would be nice.
