“You don’t have to say everything to be a light. Sometimes a fire built on a hill will bring interested people to your campfire.”

“Yes, it can be quite agonizing to walk away from what looks like a great offer. But what you must grasp is that if you proceed you could end up working in a culture that is totally out of whack with your values and that can wreck you mentally and physically. No offer is worth that price.”

“Premeditatio malorum is latin for premeditation of evils. Basically, if you’re wise, you should consider all the bad things that could happen. This is not an act of pessimism or negativity; it’s an act of preparation and confidence in your ability to face future challenges. Premeditatio malorum pushes you to new challenges out of necessity. Through challenges, strife, and obstacles – ones you may have avoided or never found had you stayed in your comfort zone – you grow. This builds job security and job options. When you have both job security and job options, you’re happier. Always.”

“So you open your mouth and listen to yourself say, “I want eight thousand a day. Plus expenses.” This is the polite, industry-standard way of saying “piss off, I’m not interested.” You did the math over your morning coffee: You want to earn 100K a year, what with those bonuses you’ve been pulling on top of your salary. (Besides, a euro doesn’t buy what it used to.) There are 250 working days in a year, and a contractor works for roughly 40 per cent of the time, so you need to charge yourself out at 2.5 times your payroll rate, or 1000 a day in order to meet your target. Not interested in the job? Pitch unrealistically high. You never know… “Done,” says Mr. Pin-Stripe, staring at you expressionlessly. And it is at that point that you realize you are well and truly fucked.”
