Businesses my arse. Bloody disguised employees the lot of them - whinging about rates coming down as if it were a salary. No understanding of supply and demand - you set your rate to match the market. Bah!

I don't think lowering your rate helps much in contracting, especially when you work through an agency. If staying in business as a contractor were as easy as lowering your rate, rates would fall in bad times, whereas in reality rates usually stay (artificially) high and the number of contractors in contract plummets instead. Most of them would prefer to be working on a lower rate I'm sure.Originally posted by sasguru View PostBusinesses my arse.

sasguru, I agree I dropped my rate this week after an in house chat. Client was happy for me to continue for another 6 months. They sacked 3 permies on the same day though so it's not all doom and glooom.Comment
