Learnt a long time ago not to walk unless i've got something to walk to. There are feelers out, i have one cracker in the pipeline but doubt if it'll come off.
If the worst came to the worst i'd incur the drop short term while looking to jump asap.

Basically it will come down to how much the client wants him, will they care if he walks?

The unilateral reduction in rate that's being suggested here should be fought off - it's the agents commercial decision to take the reduced charge rate.

Agents won't be interested in the niceties of your argument.
How much leverage do you have with the client? (Would they miss you if you go?)
If you have leverage tell them you're leaving if they drop your rate - they may back off.
If you're a 'bum on seat' (one developer in a sea of them) then it's a case of take it or leave it, I'm afraid...

Is there a rule of thumb i can argue to say well if X is the PAYE then i should be on at least X+
