"OK.  That makes sense.  I'll provide $1,750 for software and $14,000 for hardware."

 

Therefore, this is the contract package I'd like to offer you:

 **TWO guaranteed trip to a conference each year for two years

 **$1,750 for software to analyze data

 **$14,000 for hardware (i.e., special computer processor and other equipment)

**One graduate research assistant for one year

 **A nine-month salary at the 44th percentile

 **Required to teach one summer session; it does not count toward your regular, nine-month, teaching load

 **Three-days-a-week teaching schedule for Fall and two-days-a-week teaching schedule for the following Spring.

I think we have a deal!"

 

Critique:

While your salary is below average, your hardware and software budgets are favorable.  You also got two conference trips and a low summer teaching load.  Click here to play again to see if you can get an even better deal.
