    Once set for an alternative Apologise and ask for 50% more.
    Got very good relationship with current agency - most of my contracts come through them. I also know the margins they are on because I have direct access to the data - they are very reasonable. It's defo the clientco and I'll let this one slip......

    Got to take it easy in life.

      300 > rate > 1000

      somewhere in between the two.

            I suspect this isn't the last time they will mess you about keep your wits about you.
            Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                So 300 is greater than the rate, but the rate is greater than 1000?

                      Are you working on any mission critical systems such as those found in nuclear plants?
