They're at it again...

That depends on many factors, but for a senior guy £550 to £650, dependent on role.

Don't need to work in IB to get that.

[LondonManc]

Senior what? developer, programme director, tester?

Developer.

Don't need to work in IB to get that.

You don't have to be but £550-£650 is actually a solid rate and difficult to achieve. I do believe we should list where else you can find that.

You do similar and higher with Government (and lower, FYI)
My highest ever offer was a fintech startup but I declined due to not wanting another 3 month stint on my CV.

Who else pays well?

Bit suicidal - why tell everyone else who/where your best-paying clients are?

[MrMarkyMark]

Washroom Cleanliness Operative?

Yes, its amazing what IBs pay these days for senior roles, I can always recommend you .

Senior what? developer, programme director, tester?

BI development.
My skills are quite wide, in my time I have built servers, meta data, reports structures, data modeling, security the list goes on.
I have been doing this for over 25 years, however, so I can cover a number of different roles.

Don't need to work in IB to get that.

Correct, which is why I will be trying for a more senior role, maybe even outside banking.
Most of my peers have surprised I haven't done so already.

These types of head of BI roles pay from £700 to £1000 PD.
No guarantees, but you have to be in to win it

Public Sector of assorted flavours. It depends on your area of expertise. I work in InfoSec and Risk Management which helps.

Perhaps the banks prefer to hire plenty of these

Major Incident Manager, ITIL, Investment Banking, 12 Month Contract - London - October-29-2015 (Ebj7Q)

to clean up after each monstrous cock-up.

Competition only serves to drive us forward.

Head of profession public sector roles can see you in that range or possibly even beat it.

Even just DevOps itself can pay in that range but I image they're outliers.

[MrMarkyMark]

Yep, I'm fully aware of that.
I must admit I have worked with public sector, when contracting for consultancies, found it a little too slow for me, personally.

It probably depends where you work. We use the word digital so I'm sitting interating over stack of buzzwords telling the infosec team to get out of the way while doing things they say can't be done.

I then go deal with another department for 5 minutes and die of boredom. I imagine from anecdotical experience IBs and finance in general is much of the same.
