I am trying to move from DBA to Negotiator.  I have been a DBA for almost one year, but have realized that I can never keep up with the rapidly changing IT game and eventually some hotshot new guy/gal will come in and replace me.  Are there any negotiators out there that would be willing to send me some information regarding: qualities sought, pay information, how they found there job, etc.  If you live near Ames, IA I would be happy to take you out to lunch to meet face to face and hear about how you became a negotiator.
