Re: How much should i be Making$$

Let's define worth:

- Quality of work, in terms of the style, look and degree of professionalism of the finished product

- Quality of work, in terms of being able to match the requested specs

- Quality of work, in terms of organization and layout that allows quick changes rather than poorly planned "total overhauls" when one basic element changes

- Speed the work is completed

- Employee's attitude - do you have to ride their butt to get anything done?

In the end, "worth" is very hard to define since it would require you to self-analyze all of the above points and put a dollar figure to them. In the end, the old saying is true - Everything is worth exactly what its purchaser will pay for it. $30k may sound low, but are there higher offers out there? Could you realistically make $35k with another company? You should probably shop yourself around if you think so. If it's an option, you may want to just continue freelancing with them and hope for the best, but I'd take slightly lower GUARANTEED pay any day.
