Hi techno,

I am not a first timer my friend.. I have worked as a contractor.. read my post again.. I said I am new to the concept which I explained..

On bench since last 1 and half month and came across this company who has assured that they can definitely place me somewhere..

If they could place you somewhere, they wouldn't be buggering about with this rubbish. They sound like a load of scam artists, and even if they're not then 20% for payroll services is daylight robbery.

agreed but...

I agree with what you all are saying and advising... but I am kinda not happy with the way things are going on work hunting front..

I have good profile/ substantial experience with ASP.NET but no luck in last 2months...

its not that nothing happening but its going toooo slow.. So I am kinda thinking of shelling out 20% to them if they able to get something for me soon.. something is better than nothing..

economy is sinking and never know more monsters hiding ahead..

If things are that bad I would try to negotiate the % age down, do not pay anything up front and make sure there is a clause in the contract that allows you to leave the contract without owing them anything further than the %age of what they may take from what you actually work.

As has been mentioned before by myself - don't assume everyone on here is male - or has standards as low as yours. I am neither!

My profuse apologies for giving the impression
a) I thought you were a bloke.
b) I have low standards.

You may be right in both assumptions.
