Great intput.. we'll look into it more.
Salary negotiations don't really come into place until you have a few years under your belt, acquired some domain knowledge and have become seasoned, that's when the real fun starts.
If you really feel 'I must put something down' then ask a friend with a similar background who has already gotten an offer or already in the workforce what to expect based on the area you are looking in. Lastly, if moving to another state, city etc.. checkout how salary conversions for the areas.
What it really boils down to is you have to do your homework.....
Now I have no idea what that formula is, but I'm guessing its some calculation that we all do in our head based on our own ideas and in the end we say 'yup.. it's a startup..' or not.
At some point Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Groupon etc.. all surpassed that level of 'Startup' and moved into the 'Big Company' field.
Can any math geeks out there put together something that reflects that ?
I've worked for mid to small businesses in the past and this could integrate great with them, yet the missing part if you want daily users of your system you need to have time tracking functionality, and this plays in perfect with 'timeoff' as an employees time off accumulates based on hours worked at some defined rate.
I like the non user account based setup, and the idea is great, have a firefox plugin so I can save my bookmarks into it ?
Only downside... what happens when i lose my private bin link ?
As the 'normal guy' I observe what tools they are using, how they navigate them and what they are doing, because often times we both know the language equally or close to equal yet have a different selection in tools to aid the development process either 'go to' libraries or editors.
As the 'rock star' I may interrupt the developer to show them a faster way to do the same thing, either algorithm or editor functions. Because face it, the only thing that makes you a rock star is that you can get it done faster and more efficient then the other guy.
The real question is you have a pool of developers and designers, but how many of those are looking for work vs those looking for help ?
I'm a 30 year old male, and consider myself in good shape. We had a generic $600 mattress before we got our expensive tempurpedic and I had constant back pain after a few years of sleeping on it, often times I found myself waking up at 2-3AM to head down to our couch for the rest of the night because my back hurt so much. The nights I did make it through the night in the bed I could barely walk in the morning because my back was so far out of alignment.
In comes the Tempurpedic and pillows... After the first nights sleep on the new bed %90 of the pain was gone.. by the second night I felt like a new person, no pain to be found. Since then I have yet to have any back pain.
The tempurpedic's are expensive, but when you consider what most people spend on a car relative to what they spend on a bed they are nothing, and besides they improve quality of life far more then any car could. You only get one set of joints and muscles in your life, treat them right.
