I'm pretty new to contracting, this is only my second contract. I've had one extension and i've just been told that if I want it there's another one. I have to let them know and they'll inform my agency.
My rate is £300pd, but I know other contractors taken on for the same project are on £325pd and one of them £350 and i'm pretty sure my agent is getting £400pd.
I know the client won't increase rates (why should they, they're already giving my agent £400pd and i'm only getting £65% of that!), so what's my best approach with my agent to get an increase? I was going to tell him I want £340, is that too much to ask for?
Thanks.
