    Well that made my day. (I will, someday, do something in business which results in greater economic impact than this blog post, but I oft despair of ever doing it in as efficient a fashion. High seven figures impact *just from the negotiations I know about* for one workday...)https://twitter.com/FiloSottile/status/1070190514174115840 …

    But if you made it this far, it’s time for me to hand you off to @patio11, and for you to read “Salary Negotiation: Make More Money, Be More Valued” — a 7,000 words piece which made me EASILY $20 per word over the past five years. Have fun, get paid! 👋 https://www.kalzumeus.com/2012/01/23/salary-negotiation/ …

        "Wait what?" It's been up seven years and gets about 500k hits a year; the typical person reporting results to me gets $15 ~ 25k; you can math it out from there. (A ridiculous portion, and I mean truly ridiculous portion, is getting people to to not accept the first offer.)

        Most common comment is approximately: "So they offered me $X and I was overjoyed but then I remembered your post so I asked if they could do better AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENED."

        Essay. C'mon, man, if there's one thing I've learned from you, it's to negotiate salary, but if there are two things I've learned, it's to call evergreen blog posts "essays"

        If I ever get tired of @tarsnap and decide to get a normal job, I'm going to ask you to negotiate my salary for me. ;-)

        I've sort of noodled on the idea of an agent that does stuff like this for engineers in the vein of how actors and athletes have agents. Not, like, a lot. But it would be interesting to determine why that's not practice we see.
