Good grief, even in the late 1990's I would have described a good rate as being above 400 a day. How times haven't moved on. This is like saying anything above 30K is a great salary.I'm alright JackComment

Secondly, even after a good amount of expenses, £400p/d is putting you in the top 2% of earners in the country. £30k, on the other hand, is only just above the average salary.Comment

Java when it was the big thing in the 90's, I knew a guy on 2.5K per day.

A good rate is one that pays the bills and allows you to build a decent warchest. A great rate does that in a shorter amount of time.Comment
