Hi all,
An agency account manager called to discuss a contract that I'm about to be offered, the subject of the rate came up.
I asked for a rate at the high end of what was being paid last time I was at client co, several years ago, £100 than I was getting last time.
The account manager on the phone didn't flat out refuse, he claimed that he didn't know the rate either but that it seemed to be in the same ballpark as what other people he placed there were getting.
He said that he'd get back to me after checking with the client, and added that he just wanted to be sure, no sense in going in with too high of a rate. Fair enough...
Not having gone through this before myself - I'm not sure if he is bluffing or not. Surely the agency would know what the rate is, no?
