<prompt> Human: Hi rpersonalfinanceIve been working at a research facility for the past 4 months making 15hr full time. Im also making about 5k a month on youtube.Today I was offered a salaried position at 38k yearly, and based on statistics Ive found online this is an egregious lowball, possibly not even a raise depending on how much extra work is expected of me. This is still barely over half what I make on the side. Is there any sort of smart way to bring this up in a counter offer?  <response>: No? I dont really see how side income youre making is relevant at all. If its so lucrative do that full time. Id probably laugh at you if you tried to leverage this.
