lol
seems to me you need to work through different agents.
400 is too low unless you really want the role to learn something new or walk to work or are not up to snuff.Comment

I can do sql, SAS,Splus, Statistical modelling and yet there are better rates in less skilled IT jobs. There aren't enough people to fill the vacancies in my industry yet the rates are comparably low. How the bobbins does that work?The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

If an agent has placed you at £400 per day previously it's going to be difficult to justify why you are worth £650 next time round, particularly if it might affect his margin. Agents are ruthless and if the suspect a hint of weakness will batter your expectations down in a heartbeat...pocketing the difference themselves of course.
Your response is:
1. know the market too. Talk to others who do the same.
2. try the market too: if you don't sometimes ask for more, you never know what you might get (if you are never refused then you are asking too little). But it is true that you are unlikely ever to get 650 from an agent who once got you for 400. He has you tagged as 400-a-day for ever.
Especially, keep going for contracts when you don't need one, pitching the rate high.
3. keep all your contacts and try going direct. Clients may piss you about in other ways but not often in rate. And you're 15% ahead from the start.Comment
