Hello again everyone,

I'm in a bit of a pickle.....

My company had ANOTHER round of layoffs last Monday... and cut everyone's salary another 10%. On top of that, they cut us down to 4 days a week which is essentially a 30% cut.

So I'm job hunting and desperate. Some questions for you.

1. What's a good way to negotiate on salary?
2. I had two interviews this week. The first one will pay me over what I am making on 4 days a week, but less than my full-time salary even after the 10% reduction. But there is a lot I can learn from this company and possibly grow and make more money in the future. 20 people, bonus structure, etc.
3. The interview I had today. It's 7 people out of a duplex. They say they've been around 10 years and I met the CEO's wife, she has a fat ring, so they must be doing well. They don't seem like con artists, but I'm a little iffy about it. They will pay me closer to what I want, but I have no one I can learn from there.

Let's discuss, what do you all think?

Stan
