I don't want to go into detail just yet. It's complicated and not finalized. The good news is I'm getting a pay raise this month. The bad news is I'm getting the amount I was asking for. How could it be bad if I'm getting the amount I was asking for? Well, I asked too low. So my client added more for me because they think that I'm worth it. That helped boosting my confidence and made me reevaluated myself again. I started to think it might be about time to take myself (and resume) out from the "BARGAIN BIN". Then, my company *rejected* client's offer and reduced the money down to my original request. Why? I don't know... They've been acting like a blood sucker pimp from the beginning (They keep 65% commission) I have to talk to them on Monday. DAMN! I should have asked for more! I was going for the full risk by giving my client two options between (1) Me quitting -AND- (2) Me staying and work harder in exchange for a pay increase I wasn't so sure...well, only about 50/50 (because it was a big jump of 28% increase) but the timing was right, heck, it was PERFECT! It was a luck too because I didn't even think about it. I asked at the time they needed me the most (the busiest months of the year) and I got what I wanted. Well, sort of.
