asur posted:Do you really want to work for a company that pulled an offer because you tried to negotiate? That seems like huge red flag to me. I agree, but this is a significant raise and I don't think he put the jump in more defined figures. There's a difference between going from 20k to 50k and 90k to 120k.

I'm in the preliminary stages of this, but would like to hear your guys opinion on this. My current company is basically splitting in half and the offshoot is looking for me to be a part time controller of sorts. The initial setup will be a pain, but afterwards it shouldn't average much more than 10-15 hours a week based on how I work. They wanted to know how much I would want compensation wise for this. They aren't asking as a negotiating strong point I'm pretty sure, because they have pretty much no clue are scrambling to get this together. I'm thinking of throwing out $40000 through January, and we can go from there. I would really like this position, because while it will be a lot of work I would be creating an accounting system from scratch and will jump up career wise a couple of years since I will be managing a person or two. Does this sound like a reasonable rate? I figure a consultant coming in would be like 20,000 and then they'd have to find someone new that they would have to trust.

I don't think there's much benefit from not telling a third party recruiter what you're looking for. From the ones I've worked with on the hiring side they didn't just blurt out "he wants $x amount".

Keep in mind that just because it's a high COL area doesn't mean pay reflects that. An accountant in Dallas isn't going to be making 50% as much as one in NY.

These private family companies have a ton of different people to support her. As in, one CPA, one financial planner, and a lawyer. They're most likely looking for someone to handle the drudge work instead of ship them off to the $300+/hr professional.Basically, the chance of her being overwhelmed is pretty doubtful.

Put a strike through it, not a 0. Assert your dominance.
