Techie gets surprise 'matchmaking bonus' from client after project completion

A techie’s post about getting a “matchmaking offer” from his client after completing a project went viral.

What started as a regular work project for a software engineer ended on an unexpected and rather amusing note. A client he had been working with decided to offer him something far from a typical bonus: a “matchmaking bonus”.

In the screenshot, Daniel politely informed his client that he had received the final payment, writing, “Yes, ma’am, I just received it. It was a pleasure working with you. Have a great evening.”

What came next was completely unexpected. The client replied, “It was a pleasure working with you, too, Daniel. I have a request, and I hope you feel comfortable with it."
