Hi all,
I've been in my current public sector contract role (inside IR35) since October 2020, this was due to end in March 2021 but I've already been told they would like to extend until the end of November. My question is whether to negotiate a higher day rate?
It's been made clear that my responsibilities will be growing over the next coming months and therefore feel it's fair that my remuneration is amended to reflect this... However I am also extremely grateful to even have a contract at the minute, let alone be offered an extension, given all that's happening in the job market right now (I myself spent 6 months on the bench last year).
Should I count my blessings and accept the extension at my current rate or ask for an increase?
FYI I am currently on £325 and would be asking to go up to £375 pd.
Cheers!
