discussing rates

[Bovvered]

Rate

Worry about your own rate and not that of others. You will always be earning more than the person on your right, and less than the person on your left; live with it.

Compete with yourself, if you wanna rise at the next extension say to the agency the job I do is worth X, and that's what I want. Don't make it about other people.

It really depends on the situation and the other contractors. I will happily discuss rates with people I consider friends but otherwise it's a taboo area.

Generally I don't care what other contractors are on so long as I've got what I asked for and I haven't been conned (e.g. senior role and client is prepared to pay 800 p/d but agent lets you think the maximum rate is 350 p/d). It becomes more of an issue when you are paid a peanut a day and find the person with less responsibility and experience gets two peanuts a day.

Tend to agree with WS here. Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies is the usual order of the day in most places I've been at. I don't really care what rate anyone else is on as long as I'm happy with what I'm on (and, after all, if I wasn't happy why did I sign up in the first place?).

If people ask, I'll tell them if they're a pal, but otherwise tell them to bog off and mind their own business.
