urgh.. i hate negotiating..
had a meeting today, told them my day rate.. they ummed and aghed..
came back with an offer that is basically would see me do 2 days work in 1 day..
i would like the work, but im not doing it for cheap..
i dont owe them anything..- Yeah don't do it. They'll never raise your rate for the next project. Ideally they hire someone junior and learn their less, you get what you pay for.instrmntl

- Would you do 2 days for 1.5+ days pay? Perhaps you can counteroffer... do some dick'rin'! (tell them a 50% discount is too much... maybe counteroffer @ 90%)PonyBoy
- I hated it too until I realized how many times I was boned because I didn't negotiate.studderine
- ^ boned as in ___?freedom
- Stick by your rate or round down, but don't give in. If they like your work and you think that's how much you're worth, leave it at that.freedom
- Boned as in making less. Boned as in doing more for nothing. Don't give 'em a chance to take advantage—they will.studderine
