If I could throw one more tidbit of advice in there. If you or when you guys have the money conversation. You may want to position the dollar amount you're asking for in terms of what it looks like annually and not per hour, even though that's how the numbers really break down. If that $1.50 per hour comes to $15-16K per year, then ask for as close to that dollar range without interviewing yourself out of the position all together.

I've seen it done both ways to be honest, but I like the latter approach simply because it looks like you're putting more value on your services over the course of a year and not day to day.
