I live in a country when employees are more protected, and my client told me: I'm ready to pay more so you get a higher salary. I didn't get a higher salary and left a few weeks later, anyways service at BigCo (230000 names in the phone book) was not my thing, I blew everybody away in the IT department by showing them SVN (it was before git), they were commissioning the development of a custom versioning system.
