I'm quite new to contracting and got my first 6 months contract this year which is due to expire end of the month. I have been approached by two different agencies for the same role but different day rate. One is offering £500 while the other is offering £300.
Is this normal in the recruiting world for agencies to try and get a contractor at the lowest possible rate they can get so they can keep the rest of the money? I've been getting calls for contract role for £150 to £200 day for 3rd Line 4th line IT roles which includes project work. I mean do contractors actually accept this low ball offers?
Maybe i'm new to contracting which is why i am thinking like this but i would love to hear your thoughts on this
