Having been contracting for nearly 10 years now, one thing I've never done, although probably should on some is negotiate a rate rise, contract terms I have changed, but never a rise! What it has meant is that I've hardly ever had a spell out of work that wasn't of my choosing.
However, I'm keen to correct the error of my ways, and I'm coming to the end of a 3mth spell with a new client, looks like they'll keep me on, and reality is, I'm really enjoying it, so want to stay. However, I think it's high time I started to act more business like with my rate negotiations...so...
Question is, how many of you regularly push for an inflationary rate rise (that's the angle I'm looking at on this one (for now)) ?
