    Agency Percentage. Does it matter or not?

    What makes you feel you can speak for "the rest"? Did you ask each and every one of them?

    Agency Percentage. Does it matter or not?

    At least you are honest, which is strange 'coz agents are habitual liars! :D

    Agency Percentage. Does it matter or not?

    Describing agents as parasites is depicting the correct nature of their business. I'm not gonna repeat what I already said in this thread earlier about who depends on whom in the agent-contractor/permie relationship. It is not rude to call a parasite parasite, it is calling things their real...

    Fresh Graduate - opinions needed!

    Graduate schema at IB is a good choice. Developer of BA? Developers are easier to outsource offshore, so I'd go for BA.
