So what you’re saying is that if I, as a semi-independent contractor, should generate millions of dollars of profit for a company that I shouldn’t get a reasonable percentage of that, but that I should just be glad that I was given the opportunity to work?
Or are you saying that when my initiatives, come up with by me, presented to the customer, approved, signed off on, and then followed through with and delivered, that generates new opportunities for millions of dollars a year of revenue growth for both the company I contract with and the company I’ve contracted for, that I should not be paid commensurately to the value that I provided, but rather, I should count myself lucky that I have a job at all?
I don’t know, man, that’s pretty anti-worker of you. I don’t think we could be friends if that’s how you think.
To be fair, the reason they expect 60k to be reasonable is that 500k is absolutely not.
Can you explain how that is fair in your opinion? Why do you think I should not be paid $500k for my work when you don’t even know what I do?
I mean, these kinds of recruitment offers are like offering Warren Buffett a job as the assistant general manager of a rural dollar general.
I’m sure he would be very good at the task, but you can’t afford him.
Because I don’t think anyone should be paid $500k for work. It’s too far from the median. There’s nothing more to it than that, really.

In this context, I think “mid- six figures” means about 150k.
I did clarify later but I came in just a hair under a quarter mil last year. Taking one of these jobs would be a 75%+ pay cut.
