when she asked my price a few weeks back, her eyes popped out and she cried with glee, "we thought we could never afford you!" DOH! it was too late to up the ante. upon reflection, although they seemed nice, the job wasn't enough of what i want. so good practice and a quick lesson in worth.i've been told i'm overqualified and also offered jobs i don't want because they assume that's where i must be headed. in fact not. my time off and self-evaluation were worth having. it indeed was them, not me. i'm very good at what i do, and they caused the crises of faith through toxicity. the poison is purged and i'm ready. i have a special skill set and a passion to match. not everybody wants to use it. that's ok too. i can and will hold out for the right fit, and be far more clear about understanding philosophies and expectations. these last guys turned my boat completely around 6 months later. i can't tolerate that again.
yesterday's meet went great and i think this is the *one* for me. next week i talk to the money people so have the weekend to determine my price. i can always ask, doesn't mean i'll get. but i know now to start much higher than i thought. that feels good.
