It's not that they're spending for your tuition fee to get a masters degree ! Training will benefit the company more than you because you will use the skills in your job.<BR/><BR/>The hiring manager was definitely short changing you with the training offer :(bwhttp://bwzone.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275703768599664559.post-55128145137872964632008-10-03T08:46:00.000-07:002008-10-03T08:46:00.000-07:00i priced myself based on my skills and experience. the offer, on the one hand, was based on the position alone. that being the case, i decided not to take it.Marihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17298576391786364037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275703768599664559.post-74869996293996324342008-10-03T07:38:00.000-07:002008-10-03T07:38:00.000-07:00One needs to know what one's job is truly worth before mentioning a compensation figure. The internet would be a good source for that information. You've obviously set a "walk away" price for yourself but you also need to be ready to discuss and defend why you think the figure you mentioned would be "fair" to both you and your prospective employer.Panaderoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03404619097665070778noreply@blogger.com
