  2. say “Screw you and the horse you rode in on”

How do you not do #3 first? Tell them your highest rate (we call it a “go away” price) and let them ignore you, right?

Maybe?

When it’s a domain you happen to know more about since you started a PhD in that field and have read a fair amount, isn’t it way harder to cope, though? Like Homeric Epically harder? Also, isn’t it even harder after a few drinks?
