Okay I've been convinced. I'll stick to my word and stick to 650.

Thanks for the advice

I concur with the others, once you have suggested a rate you can't really change it.

Should it have been higher, most probably if working for a Hedgefund.
They tend to try and get the most out of their contractors .

You can always bring this up at renewal time, when you've convinced them how great you are

Sticking to your original offer is a wise decision, just think how you would have felt had they turned you down and the second interview came to nothing.

650 is a gr8 rate.
