Default Of interest to Project Managers - has this come true?
I saw this article written in 2006 about the rates that PMs would be able to achieve in 2008/9. Well it's 2008 now so did it come true?

I don't think so.

Nor does jobstats.

No. The credit crunch killed it. Shame...

Up until recently decent PM's in finance could get £600+ a day. It's rare now, and depends on having niche skills in particular industries.

EDIT: I'm aware that's stating the bleeding obvious slightly!

I still see most PM contracts up for between £400 and £500 per day. Not bad, but not amazing either.
