Thanks for the feedback. The lower daily rate is with an Indian agency. Not that it should matter but weary based on what I’ve read. The higher rate is the same as what I’ve been on for past couple years in other roles. I wasn’t sure on the situation of the market so took the first role offered in an attempt to keep earning until something better came along. That happened sooner than expected.

Just use some lame excuse, like sorry my personal circumstances have suddenly changed and I won't be able to start the contract. Done it several times, agencies will moan a bit, but for 150 per day you just don't careComment
