I made more than the senior leadership as a contractor. (I had multiple clients) They just cannot pay me those rates because then I would never get a "raise."They want your expertise and to increase your workload, with the teaser of a 30% haircut to your pay? Renegotiate. You should not be agreeing to that. If you feel like it would take a while to find something else in your field, give it a shot anyway. After that, whatever the outcome of the renegotiation: look for something else. Don't wait to be laid off; leave now. You're welcome.
Yes, I am looking elsewhere and I have several companies that have reached out.
