Sorry, that statement was a little misleading. My client requires their consultants to be under a consultant company. So I am actually an employee of this consultant company. I was having problems with my previous company, so I left and--wanting to maintain this placement--sought out another consultant company to carry me. Thanks for the replies.

I've been working for a client for almost 2 years now. Just over a year ago I switched to another consultant company to handle the paperwork for me. This was a gig I brought to them. I already had an hourly rate before, and that rate carried over when I switched to the new company. I just heard through the grapevine my consultant company is asking the client for a rate increase for me--something I'm sure I will not be getting any of. Should I make a stink about it? Aren't I entitled to some kind of raise even as an hourly consultant?

grats.
