    I'm feeling really conflicted about turning down an opportunity to consult for a very large and fun company because they won't pay.

        @avantgame Unless there is other value offered (IP, travel, a puppy, etc.), why would you be conflicted?

        @smargolius well, they are paying for travel but I look at more travel as a downside not an upside

        @avantgame It’s easy to get frostbitten from exposure. I do stuff for free regularly for love, but I have a corporation revenue limit.

        @avantgame and that being said, they should value you. They would be lucky to have you consider taking them on.

        @avantgame I've never done work for a client that paid low that didn't end up being a mistake. If they value you, they'll pay.
