Understood Derek and why you arrived at your number. Look at your revenue goal for the next 12 months. Look at $18K (base = $50K) If $18K is 15% or less of your revenue goal then find a way to make it to $50K. What also happens when you're paying $50K vs $32K is you'll attract a significantly upgraded candidate which in turn will increase your chances of hitting or exceeding your overall revenue goals. Don't save $18K to get a candidate who's 80% of what you can get for $50K. I suspect that 20% equates to $100K to $200K in revenue for you over the next 12 months.
