Obviously everyone's perception may be different. But there I always talk of a "good" rate. For me anything £400 and above is a good rate for a PM / PMO role. How about you?

So what is a "good" rate?

A "good" rate is one that you are prepared to take and not complain about it for the first few weeks/months.
It depends on the client's requirements, the timescales and location/travel. That's their side. On our side it's about skill level and relevant experience.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymore -

Separate PM and PMO. A good PM should be (was?) getting £500 as a minimum. Anything else depends on location."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Depends on so may factors in my field, BI Reporting Analytics:-
General rates discussed with me recently, across sectors, can be seen as follows:-
Investment Banking - £550-£650.
Insurance - £500-£550
Large Retail - £450-£500
Consultancy - £500-£550 (expenses can often be charged to them on top)
Smaller Firm - £350-£450
My main gripe is in my field companies seem to expect to pay the same for a reporting analysis role as they can do a full blown hands on architecture role.
The architecture role is often at a program level and is far more demanding than some of the other roles I can do.
Hence I tend to steer away from those unless the money is very good, or if it is a greenfield site and I get to set everything up from scratch.The Chunt of Chunts.Comment

I work in automation / devops type roles, and for me £450 is decent outside of London. £550 if I have to commute into the big smoke.Comment

A good rate is what you're happy to work for! Until the green eyed monster arrives.
But it depends on a lot of things, role, location, experience, length of contract etc..Comment

How long is a piece of string!? Too many variables to say one figure. Just squeeze as much as you can out of the agent.Comment
