Renewal negotation

[woohoo]

Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one?

I’m pretty sure it is pronounced onety one. That’s how my accountant says it!

I love these kind of posts where a new poster goes "I went in at a lowish rate, worked like a tramp and helped convert the permies to contractors. Think Im worth, say, £525 a day at renewal because, well, why not?"

Sits back and watches

Well please give me your 2 cents if you’ve done this before or if you’ve been stung in the past. More likely the latter.

450 is a reasonable increase, can't see them going beyond a 10% increase.

Anyway good luck.

Thanks for your advice.

Haha. If you want to believe that matey knock yourself out. Im not the one bleating on a webforum asking for back up when my £100 a day renewal increase is knocked back. Know what I mean? Probably not, eh?

You'd better have a response ready for when they fail to meet your number.

Wot? three?

Manchester. Yes, I agree £425 is a good rate. Like I mentioned above, I dont really need the extra but its more about principle about working hard and being rewarded, especially when the people you’re working with are connected at a CIO level and taking the big money for themselves.

Ah, so it's jealousy A bit like the permie on 45K seeing the contractor raking in £425 a day.

If £425 is a good rate, don't get greedy. £0 doesn't go too far these days.

Agree that £425 is a good rate and I can’t really moan at the extension, what I’ve done is bold but 100% not due to jealously. I’ve worked with them before and always deliver, told by them they’d up it quite abit and they haven’t. I just want a bit more as I feel it’s what I deserve that is all.

Then insist on it or walk (and potentially end up with £0). You don't really have any other options.

True, that’s why I would ideally line up another deal elsewhere incase they said no.

Why wait? The current managers have already made it clear to you that they do not think you're worth $525/day. If you believe you can get that rate (or something close to that) elsewhere, then go get it. Time waits for no man.
