Thomas, thanks for that discussion (almost 4 years ago)! I'm a converted "day rate" person and highly recommend for everyone else. > Be very careful basing your rate on your expected salary. As I mentioned in the linked thread, the problem isn't normally consultants being convinced of these concepts, but rather it's the clients that don't understand this. I often find that going into engagements I have to spend a lot of time explaining these things to clients before moving forward. My suggestions - if they are unwilling to accept/understand that up front you're probably destined to have a shitty client (that will ultimately have financial impact on your business).
