I totally and utterly agree. I am keeping track of what I can get for my time. So far the record is 150 plus expenses for 20 minutes
talk that I had prepared before and been paid for already. I now charge 300 per hour pro rata for drug company work. Anyone cdoing
better than this?
The thing is that this is still well below the £500 per day accountant as I spent a day getting to the conference and going home
again.
See my last posting about self worth.
