North West Contractor Scene

£350 to £400 seems to be the average, with some sub-300 roles going.
I spoke to a recruiter today about two roles in the North West, and I'm waiting on hearing if I've won a contract far enough east to qualify as not being in the North West anymore, so I'll be staying over if I get that.
That said I've had my CV in at multiple roles around Manchester since mid-January and not had a bite.
I think it must be a symptom of having a lot of talented IT professionals abandoning the sinking ship which is the public sector. One of the recruiters I've spoken to says it's a complete nightmare for them.Comment

Originally posted by radish2008 View PostYeah this is true - although I was on 400 a day outside of banking. On more now in banking but they are tightening their belts and rates are harder to negotiate I think.
Up here I don't know - £300 to £350 seems to be the mark for dev work.
There are a few sub £300 role though.Comment

Originally posted by oliverson View PostIt's crazy the rates up there are so bad. I was on £ 450 twelve years ago in Yorkshire and even now that's difficult to achieve (.NET development).

I still had a thick head of hair and boyish charms back then. Still a hit with the ladies. Ah well, it all had to end sometime :-(

Originally posted by oliverson View Postprecisely what I mean. €450 != £ 450. more like £ 385 at today's exchange rate and having to live away as well. That's more like £ 300 after the travel and expenses. May as well be permie.
Hence min 700 euro PD.The Chunt of Chunts.Comment
