Maybe you have to explain the "value for money thing" to them. I've used a
former colleague as an example, where in the same period he produced four
documents while I produced 67 similar ones and dealt with all of the
administrative matters. We were on similar money. I use the analogy of portable
cement mixer versus truck, both of which require one operator, but have vastly
different outputs.
If that doesn't work, ask if you can do some of the work from home. Then put in
a lower hourly rate and book lots of hours (more than it takes) - as a friend
told me he does!! ;-)

Subject: atw: Don't tell 'em how much you think you're worth...
Going through painful experience applying for jobs through a certain online job
website. While submitting an application sometimes the employer will ask a few
more questions, like "Do you have working rights" and "What is your expected
salary".
Of course, I select what my last job brought in. I "tick all the boxes"
for the selection criteria and feel good about securing an interview.
Which I don't get. I ask the HR person that sent me the "good luck for the
future" email and find that my salary exceeded their budgeted amount. Why would
they ask what I'm worth if they have already set the budget? I've had two
answers from different employers that point to the "salary thing". I'm wising
up now, and think I'll avoid answering the question. It's pure discrimination.
Caveat emptor.
