    What world do you live in?

    Just wondering what world you guys live in? Are you in touch with reality or has your daily rate got the better of you?

    Asking as I spotted a thread slamming a daily rate of £330 - roughly £80k a year - which is at the very least £50k take home pay a year. Is it really that bad? Do you know the average UK salary?

    Cheers

      I thought you sacked him for giving you grapefruit for breakfast instead of a fry up?

        Ah....genius

        Hardly 80k a year, if the contract goes belly up, after a week, then you don't work for 6 months, is it?

        You have a hell of a lot more to learn.

          Contractors spend time out of work. Amortize it eqivalent to losing 2 months a year.

          Then subtract hotel bills, then 10% for holidays, then 1% for sick, then £2000 accountancy fees.

          and take it from there.

            He's just trolling. He knows better than this as he has rather badly proved in the professional areas. He was happy enough to splurge his numbers despite it being rubbish.

              Seems like a total Bell end wherever he posts, in fact that may be more suitable as his user name.
