So I have just bet 3 other people for one position - contract A. The client was happy with my interview and could tell at interview they wanted me onboard.
Initially when I had spoke to the agent about contract A I had agreed on a rate of 400 but between the time speaking to the client and the time of setting up the interview I also had other interviews. Now I am in the fortunate position of having 2 job offers. However contract B is offering 450 but I prefer the contract A who offered 400 as their culture seems better and it would be a better fit.
Another agency contacted me regarding contract A but they seemed to be offering more...up to 475. When I have challenged the agency on this they simply said that that agency shouldn't have advertised at that rate as they are not taking into consideration the commission.
Is the agent lying? What is going on? If I push for more on contract A will I lose the contract? There is only one role and I filled it so would the agency want to lose me? They had also put forward another candidate who lost out.
I spoke to the director of the agency on Friday for contract A and our conversation left me feeling somewhat confused as ****. First of all he said he will need to go back to the client to ask for more as they are a business and also need to make money and they arent stupid! Then he said you have the other contract anyway so it doesnt matter. Then he finished up by saying `look we will work something out` Can anyone shed any light on this situation????
