I am close to landing a position as MIS Director for a solid, growing company in Manhattan, NYC. This is my first position at this title, and I come from an extensive IT history. Any advice on negotiating my contract, salary, signing bonus, overtime etc. Suggestions, comments ?

This is a mid-range network that needs a lot of overhaul, essentially I'll be inheriting a headache . . .

Any advice is welcome and appreciated . . .
Thank you

Get in the door in a hurry, do not just settle however, for peanuts, negotiate a reasonable deal, but get in.

If this is a tough, high profile, project then get in, get deep and get it done, earn that respect and then worry more about dollars andposition.

If you or an orange picker, pick the largest tree yes it is not the easy way, but you can not only yield more fruit, but you have the oppurtunity to.

You know what you are worth and you know what you will take, employers hate to hear what you want, they are offering you an oppurunity, not a cocktail and the beach, now you offer them big things and then deliver then they will deliver or then you leave.
