Joe,

Is this hostility leftover from your 8th attempt?

The base pay yes is 50 x 2080 = 104,000 yearly assuming no overtime.
Yes you are right that after providing their own insurance, that the
position paying that amount on a contracting basis in the LA area is a
little low. You could have pointed this out, hile being a little more
respectful and professional.
