Strategically then, wait until you are 4 months in the job, when they’ve paid the commission to the recruiter (finding and contacting interesting people is a job, paid ~20% of the gross salary), and THEN you raise the price.

Expect to receive a flying chair. If you get out of it alive, you’ll get a better salary.



I assume you’re being sarcastic, but if you change 4 months to a year and play hardball in your first review it’s not a terrible plan. This is assuming you spent that first year creating big value.
