Great point. That's happened to us in several instances.
- PanMan 14y agoHow do you then handle negotiations? Contracting rates are often a lot (2x-5x) higher than fulltime employment. Do you do the contracting on a really low (contracting) rate, or do you succeed in explaining they will go down 3x in salary once they get the 'real' job?
- ryancarson 14y agoGenerally people understand that contracting rates aren't applicable to full-time employment. Primarily because their time isn't 100% booked as a freelancer.
