Been contacted about a London based role with a well known High St name via an agency who has a contributor on these boards.
Pimp contacts me to say a suitable role is paying up to a maximum £545 a day. You ask for and they accept your agreement to be submitted at the daily rate of £525.
A few hours later, another pimp from the same agency contacts you saying they have a great job for you (turns out to be the exact same job reference) but they can only pay up to a maximum £425 a day.
Next day the original pimp contacts you to say the maximum rate has now been, ahem 'confirmed' at £450 and would you still be prepared to be submitted at this new, lower rate (£450?).
So, at a stroke they've creamed £95 a day off the top for themselves. Alternatively, the client has reduced the original budget. But, I think I know the most likely scenario here.
