Got a job offer! WooHoo!
But.. whilst the contract with the agent could be better regarding that well known tax law we all love (I'm sure they'll agree to a few tweaks), I've also got a contract from the client which says all sorts of scary things like "the contractor is self employed" and "under the control of the manager", and a lot of other stuff that ought to be between client and agent and nothing to do with me anyway.
Obviously I'm not going to agree to have anything to do with this. But I'm wondering is it normal to have any agreement at all between contractor and client when there's an agent in the middle? My first contract role I had to sign an NDA for the client, which I was happy to do and would again, but is even that going to far and that ought to be captured by the contractor-agent and agent-client contracts?
