Hourly Rate is not what was hoped for, but the Snap Up provisions safeguards not being left too far behind, right?

Signing Bonus could be better, but could be viewed as the compromise in this process, if the JG Wentworth, "Its My Money, and I Need It Now!" stance is not adopted.

If ratified, the fact of the matter is that it wouldn't be a $hiddy contract to work under, by any measure. It's not the fully loaded, customised model one would've been preferred, but it nevertheless comes VERY well equipped.

I'm leaning YES, but very much on the fence atm, and would actually vote NO, if I were to become convinced that from a RISK vs REWARD point of view, suiting up, and jumping back into the battle for that last 10% is the wisest thing to do.
My personal opinion is if it’s turned down, in 6 months when we’re balls deep in a recession, that signing bonus/retro is gone and half the current TA is slashed. Yikes, there will lots of people kicking themselves, and I told ya so’s.
