Something seems rotten in Denmark here. I'm wondering why the client is taking so long. I'm wondering whether the role has been withdrawn or they've found someone else to take the contract at the low (and it was jokingly low - good luck if someones fallen for that) rate.
Is this normal though for big companies to take days like this though? Surely not. Its a european company and I know the contracts are all dealt with in France (which is why they quote in euros for rate). But this sort of delay is taking the p*ss.

Newbie needs help negotiating rate...
Got offered contract today (been out of the game for 10 years).
50Euros a day more than the agency tried it on with at first but still 50E short of what I would consider to be a good rate. Anyway, I told the agency I'd think about it and then called back an hour later and told them I'd do it for 25E an hour more.
Havent heard from them since. (that was midday). I'm wondering if they're trying to wait it out and get me to crack and agree to their original offer? Or are they trying hard to get me the rate I want?
Phone them back and see whats happening or wait it out?Tags: None
