About two years ago I did some design on an enclosure in the car of a friend. It turns out it was a sponsored car for a major car audio manufacture. The next thing I know is the owner of the company was calling me at the house all the way from California to my little house buried back in the mountains of East Tennessee asking me to design enclosure for his new line of subwoofers. One thing led to another and now he sends me new products and say tell me what you think if I don’t like then it doesn’t send into production if I do like it then it gets sent into production. Its great free car audio. So a few weeks ago he said he is going to get me an email address with company name .com at the end and now he tells me they fired their main technical representative for the company and said he would love to hire me but I live across the USA. Not only that but it turns out he is fostered under a big umbrella of a total of five different car audio manufactures. I would be the main technical representative for all of them. I have been trying to work this out so I can work at home. He said however I wanted to work it out as far as payment goes. I don’t really know how approach as far as money goes. Does any body have any experience as far as contracting out of home goes and what I should ask for? I will basically be doing subwoofer design, enclosure design, subwoofer testing, amplifier testing, customer technical support, and basically I can basically be in charge of east coast sales and support.

Where you physically work is immaterial. I'd ask for the same salary/bonus/profit sharing/benefits that I would get if I commuted every day to a desk in their bullpen. If they want you, they'll do it.

$50 per hour easy... once you set the hook... get more. He was probably paying about that (in total costs) in Cal if not more. He didn't can his staff because of money... he didn't like them... he likes you.
Stand your ground, we all have to learn to work without burning the oil anyway. You WILL need high speed internet... another phone line (Vonage rocks)... and Adobe pdf to deal with the masses. get 'her done! |

I have no idea what somebody makes doing that. I work in a completely different biz. I no what I would be asking for if I was doing what I am doing now. As for as car audio design and development, technical support role, etc. I dont know. I have already started the product manuals for his latest line of subs. I know his old technical manager didn’t like me very well and he had bad attitude and poor work ethics.
