Major Blue chip...6 month contract..20/hr

[oraclesmith]

If it's who I think it is, they are also advertising for Access developers at £9 per hour !

There is, of course, the possibility that you are simply over-qualified for the role. The client may only want a junior developer to do simple work, hence the rate and the easy technical test, but the agent may have upped the job spec to filter out the hordes of college Microsoft VB/VBA/Access programmers which will apply.

From the contract search, it seems that if you have specific sector experience, you could command up to £500 or more per day. But the rates do vary a lot. The average seems to be about £250. You can do the search yourself to see of you're being ripped off.

15-20 an hour

If multiple agencies are advertising the same job at similar rates I would expect that your agency is not ripping you off silly (unless all these different agencies under owned by the same group).

As oraclesmith said it's prolly a junior role

[BradNeedsYourHelp]

Sadly, I have no other opportunities. So I must take.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks, and also thanks to everybody else who offered advice.

Might be two S3 agencies perhaps?

[BradNeedsYourHelp]

They are definately not s3 agencies. Thanks.
