@bdizzle I applied to this and was told the company was desperate for someone and was looking to fill it ASAP, dude trying to offer me $30 seeing as i was making $28 on my last contract(wasn't thinking and told the truth). I'm thinking about telling him i have a higher offer and seeing if he would top it, would that be the best play at this point? Another recruiter offering the same position at $40 per, should i play them against each other?:patrice:

In the description it says up to $60 , they are desperate to fill and they're offering you $30? If they're desperate tell em you want that 60 theyre offering.

Something is off here..and that up to $60/hr for a desktop support role sounds kinda :patrice:

Never tell them what you made at your last role, you tell them what your rate is. So if you want to make $40/hr tell them that's your rate. If you want to make $90/hr, tell them that.

If another recruiter hit you up for the same gig, then go with them. I treat these recruiters like shyt breh. These vultures is making wild paper off of us. You're making $40/hr but the contract is probably for $100/hr. So make em earn it :demonic:
