Ask for more. If they don't give it to you take it until you find something better.

i agree. i'd try and rake in any cash i can grab at the moment if it's more than my current job.
and in the meantime start job hunting so you can find better deal with another company. [/b][/quote]
The only thing I would caution regarding this strategy is too much "hopping around" can look bad on the resume.
When I'm hiring someone one of the things I look for is that the person has spent a good amount of time at the companies they have worked for. I'm not talking 10 years - but certainly 1-3 years. If I see someone with a pile of companies in the 6 month range then that sends red flags up for me.
Of course in this case its early in Kermit's career so he can afford to do it to an extent....as long as he sticks with the 2nd company. Its just something to be aware of though.
