Why do recruiters try and use length of a project as a tactic to try and get a lower rate out of freelancers. One more time For every mushy brained “talent specialist:” IT IS NOT A PRIVILEGE TO WORK FOR YOU FOR LONGER FOR LESS MONEY

I'd imagine pre pandemic it's some form of job security and bulk discount.

I appreciate this comment. It does make me think, possibly rethink. Admittedly, I always thought the reason we got high day rates (over $1k a day) was to compensate for many days with no work. So it’d all ‘even out’ and you could afford the taxes and health care. So the logic seemed to me that if they’d hire you 10 days or more, you could incentivize them to choose you by offering a slight ‘buying in bulk’ discount. There’s also more chance of downtime in a long term project making it less stressful. But of course I’d prefer the full day rate whole period. As mentioned, rethinking this now!

smart

Oh yeah I don’t like that. I meant bulk rate as in a slightly cheaper day rate for a certain amount of days. I would not discount on a fee with no limit on time.

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?

Do they ask salary expectations? I have no idea what to say for the salary question. Feedback appreciated. Thanks
