I’ve not been freelancing for very long at all (first job about to start after a few years with an ROV Co) and granted my first job is a bit higher paid than all the jobs advertised here for my level but after that what do you do.
I see what you’re saying about saying NO to the poor rates and keep shopping around but if that’s all that is on offer what option do people have when most need to work (being honest not many can choose not to work indefinitely).
I must say I did say no to a rate offered (not the job I’m going to do) and it was subsequently increased but not by much and it was made obvious it would go no higher, what are people to do with that when the agencies know most need to earn a crust.
Just my limited experience of it all so far, hopefully all the jobs I get from now on are on the rate of this 1st job.
