[ementalo]

It's just a bit of reassurance for me really...this place is nothing like netmums is it.

How big are you cojones and how much do you need the money? Did you resign from your perm gig yet?

What are cojones?

Damn right it is not, that and mumsnet farrr to scarey. Some of our posters did a raid on mumsnet and failed and we are still being had over by them many months later. Not to be messed with that lot for sure!

Saying that if you post the same basic questions over and over when there are guides galore I am sure you will get some pretty straight comments from them as well.

Pretty certain the OP is from netmums on a retaliatory mission.

Again??? Jeez, Kittycat had us over a barrel and now this one.

That makes me look a right dick doesn't it??

Hi emmantalo,

Yes just accept. Quite often these days the agency is locked into a 15% cut. It's unlikely that he's lying because if he did he'll get found out and be thrown out of the client.

It's a tough market. Go for it.

[nomadd]

Don't believe a word that comes out of an agents mouth. He WILL lie about rates and cuts to suit him.

Sorry, but that is a frightfully incorrect thing to say.

If you had said: "Don't believe a word that comes out of an agents mouth. He or she WILL lie about rates and cuts to suit him or her" then I'd have agreed with you 100%.

Testicles. Grow some.

[oscarose]

agent have lowered initial rate! He said client has haggled a lower rate so they have to too. What to do? say no and turn down position? OH is still on the phone with him, its only a small amount difference, should we just accept?

Just to clarify, your OH is looking to get into IT contracting and you're doing the research and advising?
