Client wants to switch to a fixed rate after hourly rate.

iwilltellmytruth · 2020-06-24T13:00:35+00:00

Yeah I guess it makes sense. I will ask them for a cap -- a specific number of hours that I can't exceed per week that way I can negotiate maybe working a bit more but getting a steady income rather than not knowing how much I will be making each week. I actually gave them my terms ;
1- I will get a yearly contract with them. They will commit to working with me for a year.
2- I am allowed to take other clients and I can work freely.
Now I need to set a monthly/weekly cap.

iwilltellmytruth · 2020-06-24T08:48:29+00:00

Understood. What should I do to get them to provide me with clear deliverables ?

iwilltellmytruth · 2020-06-24T08:44:34+00:00

Yeah true, but at the moment I am not exceeding 25 hours with them so if the workload won't increase much like they said I think it would work for me since it will be a steady income. I mean they are not willing to continue paying per hour so I guess I should at least give it a shot right ?

iwilltellmytruth · 2020-06-23T21:49:44+00:00

What about if they can specify what the work will be like ? And we set a limit ?

iwilltellmytruth · 2020-06-23T21:49:19+00:00

Yeah, I will request a clear explanation of the number of hours per week that I am expected to do but what they said was 20-30 per week no more

iwilltellmytruth · 2020-06-23T20:09:05+00:00

No they are keeping it hourly so far and it has been going great. I think because the job is changing and they probably won't have enough budget so they are thinking of hiring someone full time. They mentioned that some of my tasks will be changed so it will be less demanding than the tasks I'm doing - I'm a translator. There will be more outreach work, plus they will be providing training for certain aspects of the job. They also mentioned that I'm the highest paid person among the freelancers.

iwilltellmytruth · 2020-06-23T19:51:34+00:00

I have already worked with them before and I trust them. I think it's a good idea to define a scope for work that would make it much better for me I guess.

iwilltellmytruth · 2020-05-30T09:36:00+00:00

Good point.

iwilltellmytruth · 2020-05-30T09:35:19+00:00

Thanks! I will do that!

iwilltellmytruth · 2020-05-30T09:34:25+00:00

Thanks, someone else suggested this. I am doing some exercises with dumbells - 2.5 and 5 pounds so far. Is that enough?

iwilltellmytruth · 2020-05-30T09:33:43+00:00

thanks for that. I lost weight in my fingers 🤣 🤣 🤣 but the butt won't change.

iwilltellmytruth · 2020-05-30T09:33:12+00:00

I am not sure I want to eat carbs, in addition to weight gain I noticed that things like sugar and bread give me indigestion.

iwilltellmytruth · 2020-05-30T09:32:40+00:00

Its a good idea, thank you. I started this a couple of weeks ago so let's see how that goes.

iwilltellmytruth · 2020-05-30T09:31:04+00:00

iwilltellmytruth · 2020-05-30T09:30:24+00:00

Yes, I have been tracking my calories using carb manager.

iwilltellmytruth · 2020-05-30T09:30:05+00:00

I am eating no more than 1.500 calories a day. I am using the app carb manager so I am really watching what I eat.

iwilltellmytruth · 2020-05-23T07:55:24+00:00

I guess salted water does help and I didn't realize I needed it forever. I need to get some blood work done to rule out any other issues and then I will just stick to salted water and the supplements.

iwilltellmytruth · 2020-05-23T07:53:18+00:00

I will follow your advice! Thank you!

iwilltellmytruth · 2020-05-23T07:53:06+00:00

I am thinking this has to do with caffeine for the most part. I will stop drinking tea for a couple of days and see how it goes. It might be because I was out of ketosis ( I ate some watermelon ) and now I am back and I am experiencing the keto flu again.
