Why do people keep posting this stuff? If a person is going to have expectations of a 40% increase in contractual payrates (not saying its a bad expectation to have, if you have a road map to get there), at least do the math right!!

What is posted above (e.g. 25+5+5+5) equals a 44.7% increase over a 4-year contract. Like Alpha said also, if we don't want the company laughing us out of the negotiating room, we at least have to bring accurate numbers.
