Basic.

[Francko]

Accepted a perm role. Offered 80k with 15% bonus and 25k in shares.

Seemed stupid not to accept.

If it's 80K basic only, yes, that's good. If it's 80k package with bonus/shares counted it, not really. In any case, good luck.

Its dead boring over here.

I've just be offered a job as a porn star, £1000 a day. Don't think I can be bothered though (just thought I'd let you feel small)

You must have a small part as the going rate is £3000 per day!!

[MarillionFan]

"Ask for £100k"

Done that . Answer was no because of the bonus.

I lived in the US for 5 years and one project I ran was in Pleasanton, CA - just on the east bay near Oakland. I loved it there. I had a small apartment in San Ramon and it was fantastic.

I even rented a Harley one weekend and went out riding with a friend of mine. We went up over the Golden Gate into the hills around Sorsalito (appalling spelling I know!! ). Loved going to the fish restaurants near Pier 39.

I would go in a heart beat.

Got to discuss whether I go perm as well. Have been offered £75K plus 15% yearly bonus.

But it means that someone owns me if I except!!!!!

Though it is a good salary.

You'll probably find lots of friendly programmers with nothing better to do than discuss pointers, references, and exceptions,

That sounds GREAT!

I dunno, what's your rate?

You missed the point (again) baggy. I was not disputing that they had got themselves a dildo, I was just surprised that you were pitching in at such a high fee. Good for you, all that practise must have paid off!

[Bagpuss]

Surely they can get a dildo for less than that?
