For reference: I was unfortunate enough to be a tech lead after a company got bought out by private equity. Their edict was “they don’t want to be a tech company”. I was forced to hire contractors through an agency. They charged us at least 20% more than the contractor. I also work in cloud consulting at $BigTech. I know exactly how much money I bring into the company at I know how much my bill rate is. The company takes much more than a 10% cut. On a broader note: it’s easy to find out how much revenue BigTech brings in per employee and compare it to your compensation.
