Ratio between agent's share and consultant's share
i disagree with your statement that corporations are a headache.
after years of computer programming,
i find monthly accounting a pleasure and relaxation.
of course, it may be, that since this is MY money
instead of the companies i have worked for... then its my pleasure
(sort of like why some people dont mind if their own children scream!)

*>Hi,
*>
*>Could someone please tell me what is the customary/fair/going ratio
*>between the agent's share and the consultant's ?
*>Is it 10/90 ? 20/80?
*>Does it depend on the gross sum (i.e.: what the client pays)?
*>
*>Thanks

*It varies all over the place. In my experience (not recent) in the
SF
*Bay Area, I've seen anything from a $5.00/hour override for a small
*one-man operation who was a prime contractor with a large bank to 30%
*(or more) of the gross for large (read bloated) contracting
companies.
*My wife, who recently temped as an accountant for a consulting
*company, saw some 60-40 splits in favor of the company. My feeling
is
*that as a W-2 employee, you'll probably come out on the short end,
*especially if you need such luxuries as insurance, etc. As a
*corporation, you'll get a bigger cut but also have bigger headaches
of
*forms and filings.
*In short, you can't win but it sure beats being a wage slave.
