I've hired a brilliant young man at low pay (but appropriate for entry-level). 32 hour work week, flexible schedule (he starts at one p.m.), plus profit sharing on side projects and I'm mentoring him.
He spent the first two months studying, at my expense, to qualify as a novice sysadmin and gain a contract at my client.
This arrangement is working for us both. He's making more than ever before.
He's asked me to 2x his rate on the next contract.

- atsaloli 10y agoI wasn't implying anything, just sharing my experience. He's doing valuable work. I can definitely get him a higher rate now that he has a year of experience. Not sure I can double it. I'll try!
