Question for businesspeople.
A museum asked me for a quote on metalwork classification, per day. Metalwork classification is an extremely rare but not super in-demand service.
I offered them €1300 including social security contributions, but not including sales tax. They found this astonishingly expensive and turned my offer down. (I had miscalculated -- what I intended would have worked out to €900.)
In your line of business, is €1300 per day for a consultant seen as expensive?
