Agent's commissions are usually pretty high as well, 'cos they can get away with it when the job market is not tight. I have heard of an agent recently charging a company $57 dollars p/hr for a good Flash Developer friend of mine (MM Flash MX certified), and paying him $40 p/hr. $17 p/hr, quite a good commission for the agent. Needless to say, my friend he as annoyed when he found out.
Unfortunately it's left up to the experienced contractor to ask what the agent's mark-up is and negotiable the agent's fee down if it's too much -sad but true, and can be difficult.

How much do you pay for a plumber is Sydney? More that $40ph I'm sure.

While there are people around prepared to work for $25ph, clients and agencies don't have a lot of motivation to pay a reasonable rate.

Hi all
I'm really pessimistic about stuff like this... these agencies have to get serious about the rates
they put out.. of course they'll be charging their client $40/hr.
3 years AS development means they'll be looking for someone who started at v3 or 4 and I don't
anyone who coded in the 'little Actions box' that will accept a rate like that..
What do all of you think about this? How are rates like this going to attract new developers to Flash?
Cheers
