With 9 years and your background 85k sounds about right.

depending on where you are, that's low. You'd be worth 10-15 more than that in Minneapolis

- oh, you said Tx. in your post. I WILL master reading one of these daysflashbender
- still, ask for more. Then claim sexism if they counter offer less.flashbender

9 years => 70k? Are you serious? I'm pretty sure I can own your left arm for a pack of chewing gum.

If you don't have a senior on your title I think it is. But considering texas oil companies only hire bilingual designers you might get it. are you bilingual?
