Now only being a relative newcomer to contracting (20 months), 1 contract, I was open to giving the pimps the benefit of the doubt.
However I've just discovered that the agency that has put me forward for a role (at £25.00 p/h) must be taking a HUUUUUGE cut !
I now know this because I managed to play dumb with another pimp (who phoned me about the role) until he released the rate - he said 'yeah, should be able to get you £40.00 p/h'.
Now this is quite a senior role in terms of clientco's requirements and the responsibilities that will be associated with it, in fact far more senior than £25.00 p/h.
Any suggestions ? err of course I haven't secured the role yet so it may all be a bit irrelevent. The pimp sending me for interview stated that £25.00 was the client's max rate, I said it seemed very low and left it at that.
Surely the 2 agencies can't have deals with clientco that differ by £15.00 p/h for the same role ???
