    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.

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

    "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.

    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!
