Lisa, It sounds to me like you realize the compromise you are making, which means I don't think you should feel insulted by comments regarding rate. Also, I hope you are doing financial conversions when you talk rates. As I recall (from a few years ago) it was approximately a 2 to 1 ratio (American to UK). So I am intrigued why you feel it was rubbed in. You chose your rate. As does everyone else. David was only bringing up the fact that there are people that aren't aware of the rate that they can get and us such hurt the people that do know by lowering the acceptable rate for a given skill set.
These discussions are important for head hunters to understand why they are sometimes facing a challenge filling their need when they try to pay rates that are lower than have been accepted historically. It is hard for a consultant to go from 75/hr to 50/hr. This is a challenge for anybody to deal with.
