I know - why do you think I got out of it?! The first company I worked for, I won an Audi TT (I sold it as I'm not a hairdresser but it added to the deposit on my flat), soon dried up though, and commission structures changed. To begin with I earned 25% commission on all billings - I was making a fortune for a while. I still do high level perm rec within health and Social care. I only deal with salaries over 60k now and charge between 12-18%.
