Was offered a project whose fee per article is half my base rate. The client informed me they can't increase the fee anymore because their client is a friend of the management, hence the "friendly" rate.

I don't feel bad for this lost opportunity. To begin with, I'm not a friend of client's client. Second, I know my worth (and the worth of basic commodities these days).

Also, friends shouldn't shortchange each other.
