Agent asks for current rate

[dx4100]

I tell them the maximum rate I think I can justify and take it from there...

I tell them a rate based on what I think the role is worth. If I think the rate is worth 600, I'll say that. If they say the client isn't willing to pay that I wish them luck as I wouldn't want to be under paid for a stressful role. If I think the role is less demanding I'd drop my rate to 450 or 500.
