Was talking in the bar the other night and I hear they take 40-50% of your pay check... Do you believe that?
Fucking crazy!

creative circle does have that kind of markup though

they charged my clients $50/hour, i got $45/hour of it. if you get hired full-time they fuck off outta the picture.
pretty sweet deal, actually...
- But then surely there is a Finder's Fee?nylon
- i didn't hear anything about that. $5/hr for one month of work is still $800 for doing nothing more than connecting me to the employerscarabin_net

they have a huge 35% annual buyout that keeps many as perma-temps :-/

there's some contradictory information being dispensed here.

I don't think they're taking "50% of your pay check". They may be getting paid twice what they pay you, but that's the case with employers as well -- they've got to make a profit.
- My bad - you're right. They give the designer an hourly rate of $50 and they charge the client $100 is what I was saying. Taxes are taxes for sure :(nylon

I worked with a copycat a while back, they kept emailing me shitty shit jobs and eventually asked them to stop sending me stuff.
I don't know how much they took, I think they asked me how much I wanted to charge and that's what I was supposed to get, I would not find out how much they were actually charging the client
