I've had this question and a couple of new guys asked me this also, sometimes we see for example, a posted hourly rate, then there's a rate listed in a review, a rate listed on P411 and a rate listed on BP...and all 4 hourly rates are different. Now, I'm a salesman by trade so I have no problem with going with the lowest published rate, HOWEVER, I do NOT wish to insult any lady or cause friction as most don't either.
What would be the best way without compromising security to both parties, to confirm the rate? I do not want to short anyone but at the same time, I along with everyone else, have budget concerns. I have no problem with confirming the rate but tell us the best way to communicate this to you. This is a way for all of us to learn without trying to be a cheapskate.
Thanks!
