> From a business owner you're essentially saying "I achieved the tasks, things are stable. Now pay me less and I'll go do other things" Sounds like a better deal then "now I shall fill up the time with tasks I claim are important that you don't understand but must pay for."
I'm still confused. Are you formally getting paid less than a comparable full-time (40 hours) worker, or are you getting paid with the assumption that you work 40 hours a week? You said you get "full-time pay" earlier, but now it seems you're saying you actually have a special reduced pay arrangement of sorts.
- kristopolous 10y agoI'm throwing together 8 years of doing this at 5 places. Some have been retainers, some have been contracts, some have been 2 or 3 different things. Currently it's officially full time pay at 3 days a week with each day being 6 hours. In practice it's more like 15 hours instead of 18. Don't end negotiations during the interview. Open it up again when things change. Engineers aren't great at business and often hand wave it off as if it's unpleasant and impure. That's nonsense. If you're an employee, the business comes first.
