Just had a pimp on to me giving it some. Then he says 'what rate was you on at your last client?' I said dont see any relevance. I look to get as much as the client will pay for my skillset but, neither do I look to price myself out of the market.
'But we like to match you to what the client pays and if we know what your last rate was, we can do this better.' So I said well, you just contact me with the job location, what it is etc etc and I'll give you a rate range, then, once I've had the interview I can firm up my rate expectations.
'Why dont you just tell us your rate?' I said because no other ******* business would be expected to quote you a price for a job over the phone that they had scant details for. They'd give you an estimate if you were lucky and only give you a quote once they'd seen the job!
******* morons
