Ok. So I'm officially unemployed. Been working for a startup company that's been paying me quite well with a nice bonus in the past week for completion in a timely manner. Financially, I'm well off enuf to last for 12 months w/out additional income. Still, I'd rather have some income.
A company I worked for over 3 years has contacted me to run their benefits & pension plans. Seems that Hewitt was charging them millions for service that was inadequate and unresponsive. The company sought outside contracts but the service charge was still in the millions and that time frame was in multiple years.
I'm wondering whether I should charge the company a "lot" of money for my services based on the fact that I will save them millions and make their data directly accessible. Or whether I should consider that the alternative is a soft tech market. One thing is certain, I'm the only one that can bring the data "in house" and do it within a reasanable amount of time (by Nov. 1st).
Anyone have any opinions? Should I go for the money? Or should I go for the security?
One thing's for certain, If I go with them, I'll be there for years, though after the first 9 months it'll be a walk in the park (giving me lots of time to participate here and other places).
