From “the simple path to wealth”

The Monk and the Minister Two close boyhood friends grow up and go their separate ways. One becomes a humble monk, the other a rich and powerful minister to the king. Years later they meet. As they catch up, the portly minister (in his fine robes) takes pity on the thin and shabby monk. Seeking to help, he says: “You know, if you could learn to cater to the king, you wouldn’t have to live on rice and beans.” To which the monk replies: “If you could learn to live on rice and beans, you wouldn’t have to cater to the king.”

We've got two or three director level positions. We've been looking for a server admin for about 7 months with 0 applications. We're hiring a $100k/yr head of communications position.

Feel like I’m being ripped off by my employer on new offer received

I work in Europe for a SaaS company and make around 40K € per year. Long story short a new position was available in my company for a new role dedicates for a specific client and I’ve applied and received an offer. I’ve seen the contract for this client and I know they pay 200k USD yearly for this position. My company is offering me a 10% raise if I accept this position, which would mean I’ll be earning 44k € yearly. Am I crazy to think they’re ripping me off given what the client is paying my company and what I’ve been offered? Thinking about telling them I know how much the client is paying and requesting a fat raise.
