The Hiring Line:
-
Julie is delighted to announce D.’s landing!
“I did accept the offer from [a marketing firm]! We agreed on $150K for the first 4 months with a re-evaluation with potential to increase to $175K. 12 days of vacation and paid holidays. I have an office with a window and my own parking space. I couldn’t be more happy! The job is everything I found in my Clarity journey and got the title and responsibilities I wanted. It’s a small company but they have very deep pockets. They even tweeted about me when I accepted the role. They didn’t say my name, but I know who they were talking about.
I will definitely need your help when we renegotiate if I don’t get what I want. I’m kicking butt and need to be compensated. I hope you’re doing well. You now have another success story you can put under your belt!!”
