<prompt> Human: I recently landed a new job. Its a bump from 60k to 90k.At my current gig I frequently would come in and work on weekends, I dont mind it.Im going to offer my current employer the opportunity to still have me on weekends to make the transition easier for them.Theyre paying me 30 per hour about 60k per year. Should I demand them to pay me what I will be making at my new job if they want me on the weekends? Im particularly valuable to them being the only one at the company in the position that Im in.My goal is to be fairly compensated but I also want to be able to use them as a reference.Does pf have any experience with this? Should I ask for matched pay if they want me to continue coming in on the weekends?  <response>: I have done this. My two cents: Check for no moonlighting clauses outside work with your new employer. Many companies have these now. Some are okay with it, so long as you state what it is youll be doing so they can approve it so you are not helping another business compete. Dont hide it. Be open and honest about it. Some will allow you to help with your old company until they can find someone to replace you. So they may put a limitation on how long you can do it. Find out what a fair consulting rate is. Cold-call a contractor or some such that your old company would have to hire to do the job, and find out what theyd charge. Knock 10 off that. Example: As a software engineer, while a job may pay 100kyear, as a consultant with my skillset, Id easily charge 200 an hour.
