RE: Ridiculous job offers

I know from a colleague of mine, who was accidently sent the PO meant for the actual client, that although she was being paid 15 Euros for a job, the agency actually invoiced the client 70! UNBELIEVABLE!

RE: Ridiculous job offers

That happened to me once too. The agency was billing the client .30 a word. That's when I learned I wasn't charging enough.
