<prompt> Human: I have an offer to go full-time as a front-of-house manager at a restaurant. The owner says he wants to make it worth my while to stay, as hes had problems with managers staying for long for a variety of reasons- some were newly graduated students using it as a stepping stone, some were adults with bad tempers not cut out for the industry. He says Im doing a wonderful job, and he trusts me- his mind is at ease when Im working. So far Ive been part-time, but we both want me to move to full-time its what the restaurant needs. Hes open to hourlysalary discussion, but Im not sure what to ask for. I was earning 38k at my previous office job plus health insurance and 401k match. I want to make at least that amount or more, especially if Im giving up most of my nights and weekends. Do I ask for hourly or salary? Is 40k benefits reasonable? I want to be able to afford a house someday. Im 30, not married, no kids with about 50k in student loans. Id like to make 50-60k in my life at some point.  <response>: You most definitely want to be hourly. As a manager in a restaurant of all places, youll be working more than 40 hours. I would bet on it.
