Agency rates negotiation

[starburst89]

Hmmm am I being played? Asked the agent for higher rate and his reply was he thought I was excited by this opportunity but can negotiate a higher rate but wants me to be more interested in the role as well. Wtf!?!?!?

Of course you are being played. You are a newbie struggling with the situation and he does this for a living.

Absolutely sick of agents and their vile tactics. Of course alot of contractors are in it for the money but they can justify asking for these rates as we specialise in what we do and are considered experts.

89 Starburts in all in one go?

They'll have to have Opal Fruit experience to get that many done though.

How do you expect the agency to afford to run the lambo if you're gonna keep asking for more money! It's not like he can sell the boat, he needs that to travel to his private island. Jesus guys, have a heart..
