    How much of an agency pi55 take is this?

    A good mate was offered a job with the client through agency A at $500 a day take it or leave it. I advised the mate to ask the client about it. The client has now had agency B send my mate a contract for $850 a day. How much of a pi55 take is that now?

    Complete pi55-take. Your mate has conned the client that a $500/day skill is an $850/day rarity and is fleecing them to the tune of $350/day.

        Here's the HUGE pi$$ take:

        You could have put your mate forward at $800 a day and paid him $550 a day.

                $ and £ are different.
                You can lead a fool to wisdom but you can't make him think.

                    And there are certain skills that will demand £800+ per day.

                    Large scale Programme Managers/Directors can easily command that kind of money - but only if they've a long history of delivery....and good references

                    Can't argue with that
