I'm sure I'm not the only one in this position but its making things twice as hard at the moment.

I'm lucky enough to be in contract at the moment, on £350/day inside, with 2 days a week onsite in the City at a global bank. But I've never earned more than £450/day as a SQL developer, over a 25 year career, so £350/day isn't that bad.Comment
