What is considered a 'fair cut' for a contracting agency? To me 30%-40%
seems reasonable, but obviously you don't think so. I'd like to hear what
others have to say.
Also, what services are they providing? Just placement, or some editing
and/or training? What do you expect them to provide? If they aren't
providing some help in guiding the project, obviously the cut is smaller.
