TITCR. * Thank them for considering you, tell them how great they are (why you like the company/concept/people), and how excited you are about being an FTE with them. * Go on to explain how much you've learned, the value you add, how you've returned the time investment they've made in you, how you plan to add future value and the enablers you will use to do that. * If necessary get average compensation numbers from the internet in your city/industry, and with competitors; also, if it's true, make a numbers case with what they're paying you. That is, explain that to "keep you whole" based on your existing compensation they'll need to pay you blah blah blah. Combine all that and say that therefore you think $X plus the package they've already mentioned is a competitive offer you'd definitely accept. Worse case scenario is that they say no and you further consider their original. If you stay positive, accepting, professional, and complementary there should be little risk. If there is risk you should rethink if it's the right place for you.
