> You are hired to write code This is pretty wrong imo. I believe we're hired to create business value. An important question here to OP: Have you signed anything yet.. as in have they hired you yet? Or are you still negotiating? If they're hired on at a discussed rate, and then realized the project has potential - then I agree, too bad. Don't be shitty. But if it's early stages of negotiation and OP believes this is gonna create 1m in business value, and wants 100k for it.. then sure, pitch it to the client. Want the IP after? Ask them. Maybe talk to a lawyer though.
