Then the hiring manager smiled.
“That sounds reasonable.”
Two days later, they offered me $92,000.
I stared at the email for several minutes.
$92,000.
Nearly $40,000 more than I had been making.
For doing work I already knew how to do.
I accepted.
But I didn’t tell Karen immediately.
I wanted everything finalized first.
Signed contract.
Confirmed start date.
Benefits.
Everything.
