Are they keeping you on a retainer? Because you cannot potentially manage meetings and do work during 8h and not have meetings clash etc.

There's been so much chat about multiple clients of late that I thought you were being a bit tongue in cheek with your comment.
When you work a mix of fixed price and day rate for multiple clients, as I have done, it is easy to spin things. In my situation the average day rate would have worked out to be about £450 but I could have just as accurately claimed to be on £900 a day.
It is entirely possible, as others have described, to service multiple clients, not upset anyone and earn a good combined rate. It very much depends on what it is you do, who you're doing it for, and the manner in which the engagement is being delivered.Comment
