    Who gives a tulipe what they get paid? as long as you get paid what you think you should, then all is well. The only issues that might arise from excessive fees is if you get a very high hourly / day rate and the agency adds an extra 30-40% on top, then, depending on the client, you might get chopped really quickly as your "cost" will stick out like a sore thumb on any quarterly budget meeting. Then again this mostly happens when a "contractor" sits in one place for a long period of time, if you are there for 3-6 months I think most clients will simply stomach it, knowing well it's only short term.

    If you don't like agencies, then don't use them, go direct, it's pretty simply no?
