How to get a higher cut of the bill rate on projects?

Has anyone been on a project where you knew the bill rate was really high but you only got a tiny piece of it (like paid $60/hr and billed out around $200)? Does anyone know of a company that pays consultants well – like 70-80% or more of what they’re getting?

ha ha ha ha. This is a Friday troll, right?

that's an indicator that your company is making nice fat margins, in which case they are probably healthy, likely to be able to give out bonuses and are probably a good place to make partner...

if you want to keep what you earn, go freelance - but you are of course then limited by your own ability to achieve utilisation and a good rate..

working as an independent is great actually, but the overhead is such a burden. are there companies that provide an umbrella to work under? in other words, the consultant brings in projects and forfeits a REASONABLE % of the bill rate for overhead? 20-30% seems way too low to be taking home.
