agent just offered me more money than I asked for :)

... just got off the phone with a pimpette , she is putting me up for a role on jobserve for a project I know is a real one, she asks me rate, I tell her £x per day, she says they can pay me x + 25 per day!?? Why would she do that?

I spoke to similar on Monday for a role in Cov. She said she'd put me in at 25 quid a day more than I asked for AND she told me their margin up front

Sadly, that's as far as it got. Not that bothered as Cov's a flipping long way from home.

Contracting : Business with in Business !!

Or being cynical - maybe the agent has another contractor they can place at a lower day rate to the client, i.e. making a higher margin for themselves, so they want to make you a less attractive bet to their client.

Surely not......!

fixed rate margin the more you can get from the client the more they get.
