A recent article says you have nothing to lose negotiating for a better offer, if you are entertaining going to a new employer.

Trying to “up the ante” at the end of the process, will not endear you to your new management team.

Linkedin has 60 million members, its site had $17Mil visitors in February, the average member makes $107k, and more than 25% are senior execs.

Every Fortune 500 company is represented.

Someone, too, may be reaching out to you!

4.5% for a 15 year mortgage will save you $50,000 for every $100,000 borrowed, versus 5.2% for a 30 year mortgage!
