Who is the paycheck coming from? Of all the recruiting agencies that I've worked with, none of them would even considering letting me off their payroll and onto the client companies for any ammount of $$$. If the agency is willing to let the client company buy you out like that, then great, I've never had an agency that was willing to do that for me. In the end, the relations between the 2 companies allways went sour and I was left SOL. The gig I have going on now I went out and researched the company myself. Went to HR and got hired as an employee. I'm making 2x my previous pay with awesome benefits and annual bonus.
