Boom! ..... and the negotiation begins.....

[jmo21]

just had the call with my agent about my 2 month extension.

Told him the rate increase I want, he is off to talk to his superiors.

fingers crossed.

Always nervous with this part though, especially as first negotiation of this type with this agent/agency.

Asked for X extra, will be happy with half of that.

Are you happy to walk if he says no or are you going to just shrug and carry on like 99.9% of contractors?

Gratz on the boom though.

[jmo21]

nah, I'll probably fold.

[northernladuk]

nah, I'll probably fold.

Ah well, get the poker face on and play that bluff and good luck!

[jmo21]

cheers, that's exactly what I'm trying just now!

[rd409]

congrats on the boom.

I'm hoping I'll get an extension come April so I can ask for 20% extra a day

WHS but don't forget we're all here to make a living and it's all about progressing, this is my first contract and I accepted a standard rate and eventually when it's due to end if should they choose to renew I would cite the fact that I stay down here all week as why I need extra

Just before TheFaQQer goes all pedant on you!
