I know this has been asked before but my Google search isn't bringing up the threads I recall seeing.
Pre-interview I had as good as no detail on the role so I said I wouldn't commit to a rate. But I did say my previous rate was £Y. To which Agent said he thought that would be higher than they would go. He was thinking roughly £Z. I had the interview today and the client stated "Your rate is £X".
Old rate is still higher than X but there was more involved and direct.
X = Z + 17%
Assuming I'm successful, I'm not sure how to play this with the agent. The client most likely stated the agents rate, which seems a little high too me.
Am I best going straight in and saying client and I discussed my rate of X?
Thanks
