IF im put forward for a role by an agency, is it a bad idea to ask what the rate is at the interview, if I have a feeling the agent is trying to pocket a little too much?

I've had contractors ask me at interviews what the rate is and I've directed them to talk to their agency, it comes over as rather unprofessional of the contractor.Comment
