    Do you have a minimum job rate? Day rate?

    Some random contact messaged me saying they had a quick job for me and hoped I could do it sometime this week.

    No pressure.

    So I say "sure, I charge $50/hr".

    He says. "this is just a quick job fixing one thing on my website and will prob be less than an hour's work. Can you do $40?"

    • sounds like a headache even before you agree to it.lvl_13
    • "uh, okay. I'll take $40, but I want it in quarters. you may have to stop by the bank."lvl_13
    • I'm not looking to bargain.bainbridge
    • I used to charge 450 for 1/2 day and 800 for full day. If they hymned and hawed about it, I would say I know someone to do it cheaper, and they would go with merobotron3k
    • find out if they have a nephew. and refer them to their own nephew.pango
    • agree on referring them to someone else.pango
    • Now it's $52 motherfucker.detritus
