I can't remember what the IT guys said they were paid, but I'd be
surprised if there is any room for negotiation. (Someone please let
me know if I'm wrong on that!)
Keep in mind that there are many qualified people who'd be happy to
take any position on the ice, for pretty much whatever pay is offered.
Even the lowest paying jobs have hundreds of applicants.
Good luck & don't forget to have some fun with it!
Cheers,
Erica
