Wow, you need 20 years experience over three very different sectors all for £550, inside?? What is the world coming to?
Most of those SBA’s have retired and are doing other things these days.

Cheapstakes will always be cheapstakes and see what they can get away with.
Problem is £550 inside is still a £150,000 or so yearly cost so I can see why they think it's a great deal..
For a PAYE rate it's ok, if it's Umbrella it's not great
it's still well over 100k, and miles over what most people can dream of, I feel like everyone here lives in Mayfair, drives a Bugatti and has 15 high maintenance wenches

There’s no way they’re getting someone with that breadth of skill set and experience for that rate. We have an equivalent one-man band consultant SA on my project and he charges £1,500 a day though it’s only 3 days a week Tue-Thu.
I can only imagine that the recruiter just wants to throttle the number of applications they get. Either that, or they’ve vastly oversold themselves to the client!
Highest rate I ever had was 550, normal is 400-430, in this market I would go lower. Always outside. I'm a developer/architect/anytitleyoulike although I very experienced, yet since nobody can even remotely measure or identify good developers it is difficult to stand out.
Another week and I could say another week to being no nearer to getting a contract but as the last couple of contracts I got came out of the blue I am not sure you can say that anymore.
