Hi Folks,
Looking at a consulting gig and right now I am being presented with a 70/30 split. I've heard of much higher splits from others, but the consulting company is crying no mas. Am I getting a fair shake here? Its only my 2nd time consulting, and I definately got jobbed the last go-round. Was hoping people on here were in the know and could share what they believe constitutes an accurate and fair rate split.<p>Thx.
Which way is the split going? You're a little unclear here.<p>A 60/40 split, with the consultant taking 40% is standard fare in many markets, but I have heard it's often less favorable in NYC, Boston, DC and the Silicon Valley. I have never consulted for a firm in any of these locations, so I can't provide an answer.<p>If you're talking about a 70/30 split with you taking 30%, I would say it mostly depends on whether or not the 30% is adequate for you personally.<p>If you're talking about a 70/30 split with you taking 70%, you would be <i>very</i> hard-pressed to find a more favorable split.
