Not so long ago I learned that my contracting company's been billing my presence €800 day to my client (or €100-125/h), as I was looking for further explanations on a "you cost too much" remark that I've got. (for non-French people here, IT contracting companies are very secretive about their TJMs especially to their employees) Thing is my take-home is nowhere close to that. And to negociate for a regular increase is almost a herculean task. I got one after long talks and it just got eaten up by inflation. I think we all need a wake-up call here in France to stop being exploited. One thing for sure is that if I ever go back to do IT contracting in France it's to work as freelance or at least do a "portage salarial"
