Roles in my discipline at the moment are mostly sitting at a proud £30-£35 per hour most likely inside contracts, assuming you can even find any. Unless you are British (sole passport holder) and SC cleared then perhaps defence might pay you £45-£50ph.

a friend mentioned they had an interview request, but they were only hiring because they had been given a government grant.
One of the rules for that is that it could only be spent on "payroll and not contractors" so anybody who was hired had to go on payroll.
I'd not heard of this before - is it a thing? or just a way of cutting to the chase and saying "Inside or nothing"?Comment

Spoke to a few of my good agency contacts over the last few days. They all advised me to take anything that I'm offered in the current market. Unemployment and economic forecasts look horrid too - I don't see this job market materially changing until late spring/summer 2021 tbh. Covid is obviously one issue, but in the UK businesses need to see how Brexit is going to pan out so that they can act accordingly.Comment

Oh and I would probably be doing 5 hours for that money not 6:30 (it could probably do it in 3 and be more productive than the competition).merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
