offered contract but less money than agent promised
When did I say I was annoyed? Not only do you pretend to know what I do for a living purely on the basis of misreading something I wrote, you can also see into someone's state of mind over the internet. Blimey, how long have you had these special powers? As I said, and I'll reiterate, The ones...- wil

Yep, I agree, I can see why it wold be bloody annoying, but my point was that given the way that many agents work, it's also not very surprising. As I've said already, I've only been contracting about 9 months and I've already come across some right arsehole agents. I imagine some the people...- wil

As a newbie (both here and to contracting in general) I'm possibly gonna get flamed for this but: If an agent mentioned a rate in negotiations, they haven't "promised" anything. It's not your mum, it's business. The only time a rate has been "promised" is when it's written into the contract...- wil

Newbie alert!
Hi all, came across this place by accident. I'm a contrcator but realtively new to it (9 months in and still afloat). Thought I'd sign up and say hi, I'll be trawling through the threads shortly to pass on my wisdom to you all. After all, I've been a contractor for ages now, so I must know...
