Uhm.... that sounds really, really shady. If you do the negotiating then they've failed at 90% of their job, and I suspect you most certainly didn't get your full value.
- bsimpson 8y agoThey chose an inaccurate job title for me to justify my salary. Maybe I could have made more freelancing somewhere else, but I think I was at the top of what this role was willing to pay. I was making $100 per hour with a guaranteed 40 billable hours per week.
- protomyth 8y agoWell, I'm glad you got something decent out of it. I have a bit of a visceral reaction to bad actors in agencies since their actions had consequences. It was very informative at one place I worked where a ticked off employee released a spreadsheet with all of the hourly rates for all the consultants. I was rather amused to lean how many bad actor agencies there were (although gratified that I worked with the honest sort). It was a bit amazing to me that people were baffled that I didn't really want to look at the spreadsheet. I knew my rate, was pretty happy, and was a bit worried it would impact how I viewed others.
