If an agency came back to your hourly rate with “we just checked with finance and hour max budget for this is ___ /hr”, is there room for negotiation?
It’s a lot less than my standard rate but I don’t have a ton of work lined up and don’t want to lose the opportunity. This would be fairly stable and I would be breaking into a new industry that I want to break into. Also, is there a freelancers bowl?

Update: I went with the lower hourly rate, a cap in hours and asked if renegotiation is possible in the future

What’s your take on a job listing that states “From $xx,xxx”

The particular job I’m looking at has this on the listing and I’m curious as to what their budget actually is. Do I assume a range?

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.
