    Gotta love computer futures

    Just saw a role with them advertised for 300-350 which I know damn well pays 450-500 as it's the place I recently left.

    Standard capita contract too paying about 600 to which ever agent fills it.



    That is one hell of a margin.

    What some agents are doing is telling companies "I can get you someone for -100 or -150 a day"

    Companies only have 3-4 prefered supplier agents, and they will do/say anything to get on that list.
    Fiscal nomad it's legal.

      I don't even bother to apply for CF roles waste of time.

        CF Deutschland had a 100% markup on my gig I later found out.

          That was probably to cover the loss of reputation you doing the gig caused for them.
          I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful. [Christopher Hitchens]

            Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
