Will the engineers PLEASE wake up... A deal where an organization is taking a cut of your gross is NOT worth it.
So you work for an entire year, working nights, weekends, and they will take %15 off the top? At 200/hr, if you gross 400K they're taking 60K?
Are they really providing 60K worth of service? No. It's your reputation on the line. Your ass working weekends. You being called at 3am when the server crashes.
If they find you the contract, offer to pay a finders fee that seems reasonable.
They did the work up front, fine, then pay them up front. But don't let them keep sponging off of you like a leach.
