>This would be probably around $17/hr for him since asking him for $18/hr I would believe would be beyond his limit price $15 is his limit. How do i know that? First this is the amount he is getting from the client, second he won't accept that I get the entire cake while he gets nothing while the fact is that the client is his not mine. I know him from my school days, he is very careful when i comes to money and I find him tight-fisted. Just to share an experience with him, when I first started working with him he offered me $6, trying to take 60% cut, I told him that this was very low and $9 would be acceptable. At this demand he got irritated and said I worked nights to build this stuff. So I explained him how I would provide value to him and his client and he won't have to worry about my work because I would handle the client directly. After that he came to some sense and accepted that $9 demand.
