Any tips for negotiating?
Had interview, client obviously interested because agent's called and asked me to confirm rate, which I do.
Agent calls back later saying the range in job spec was a bit high and client's range now tops out at the bottom end of the advertised range.
I assume that they've actually already agreed a rate and he's just working on me for more margin.
Thing is I'm idle at the moment so I'm apprehensive about playing hardball and losing the contract.
