i was pretty stoked... i mean i'm no pushover with rates etc. hence the fact i asked the markup, and then said i'd like more.
i guessed it was a healthy markup for them... fact is though it is a decent contract, decent hours, remote working 3 days a week and the rate is pretty good to be honest (esp. considering, and i hate the phrase, 'the current climate').
but yeah, my bbq is a bit damp. pissy wet burger anyone?

Greedy agents do contractors and clients no good whatsoever.
