If you really believe in the guy you could ask that shares in his company be part of your compensation. If he’s successful you could leverage those shares into capital for your own agency

@ABCDEF7 yes, I have noticed web development and digital marketing is not a very expensive thing for politicians. Sometimes when we propose an amount and the person in front of us agrees without any questions, i go into self analysis thinking whether it was really low..

@Authoritarian But you just can't increase the cost of your services without any reason. There are other players in market who can opt cheaper services than you.

When I used to work as a free lancer software developer, this thing also came to my mind. For that I made some principles. There are three costs that you need to consider before quoting to your client.

1. Utility Cost: How much your services are valuable for your client.
2. Actual Cost + Reasonable Margin: The cost of services it actually costed to you, plus a reasonable percent of profit margin according to the industry.
3. Market Rates of Services Offered.

I am a web developer working for an Edtech company in India, previously worked as a freelancer software & web developer.

Business is more about management and exploiting the market than just having the technical skills. You need a good team and right market strategy.

A couple of things I'd ask myself first. Was the politician respected or was he shady. Because his reputation is going to dictate the direction of the company. I'd also consider what it is exactly that they're doing. "Chemicals" can be good or bad. If it's the for the good that wouldn't hurt a resume or your individual work down the road. If they're harmful then you're having to justify harm for money and future opportunities might be lessened. At 22-25, if everything lines up, I'd take the gig. You're a good age to build experience, make relationships and get a better idea of how to start something from the ground up. Having the creative or technical skills is just one part of actually running a business. They're separate. So I'd probably use it as an educational platform for down the road. Good luck.

🤔...........Maybe launch your company now and have this Chemical company be your first client.........Since this company offered you a position and like your work, tell them that your starting your own company and would like to work with them as a client bases and tell them what you bring to the table by doing so...........
Good luck on your business goals.....
Did you write that using ChatGPT, Meta AI, Perplexity, Co-Pilot, or Mistral AI?
