Hello peeps,
Alright I will try to explain my situation as simplified as I can :
-I use to get around $60 - 150 per week in my past duties, which were the following: Fixing common pc problems around my neighborhood, buying hardware for people and making a small profit, reinstalling Xp and making peoples pc feel like a new one,etc etc. (however that was not a stable income)
-I was slowly increasing in my Income, after about a year I had around $3,000.
(i was nearly 18 and ended days before turning 19)
-basicly after slow upgrades this more or less shows my Pc improvement in the near one year period ,thanks to my hustle.
Some examples are:
15" Crt TO A 20.1" Dell 2005fpw
Broken wood desk TO A Decent glass desk
Now keep in mind i didnt have a official job, and my parents dont give me $.
-Anyways I did realize eventhoe I felt somewhat satisfied with my improvement I still felt I shouldv had some stable job, besides I hate when my parents reminds me to get a job, and that I got a year just sitting around heh.
-Ok back to the real point of this thread, couple of days before turning to my fresh 19 years I was offered to work for a friend of my father, the guy basicly owns several money exchange companies, mainly in islands.
-After I decided ill give it a shot (and after a short evaluation fixing some of his pc's in a nearby business he has) he was sure I could do the job, and asked me how much would I expect as a weekly salary, I thought it over and told him $300/week and he pays for the food and any expenses (flight,hotels,etc), he thought about it and we came to an agreement.
-Here I am in my first target (Puerto Rico), I almost already have a month here, btw its great being by yourself in a penthouse and not worrying about restaurant prices, anyways I mainly have to replace some old pc's there are with some higher end ones, same goes for a server, i then just talk to the programmer so he can remotely install his software to the new pc.
-So basicly I build some pcs, install xp, and just wait for the programmer to do his thing, btw I act as if im special, i wake up around 9am-11, and just head to work to check whats new, while the workers are there since 7am typing a zillion important documents and taking care of customers. I feel good knowing im getting more than what I usually earn by doing such similar jobs that I did back home.
-Now there are some stressful times, working for long times with computers gets somewhat tiring and very boring, and im dealing with delicate stuff here, if i screw up im in for some big trouble.
-So for what you have read, do you think I should ask for a higher pay? many of my friends tell me I should be getting paid around $500- 600 weekly + expenses&food.
and so have some coworkers here, so im feeling a little off here to me its actually not a difficult job, mainly because im familiar with it etc.
Sorry if I didnt type this thing too understandable but i'm sleepy and dizzy, i expect some replys when i wake up
