17 years ago.
That was my point.
As far as being out of touch goes, my previous pay directly before that was £20K per annum.
In fact I was actually in a very similar position as the OP when I 1st started.The Chunt of Chunts.Comment

The world 17 years ago was very different to now - given that perm rates have hardly increased in that time (an agent sent me a senior .net developer role paying £35k last week) its hardly surprising contract rates haven't increased.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

It used to be, back then, that only your front office IB roles would be the ones commanding £600-800 PD.
These days for experienced people, of any worth, this is around the going rate.
Obviously, negotiation is essential, roles do not always pay the paltry rates actually advertised.The Chunt of Chunts.Comment

I'm also considering a move as a Business Analyst on a contract basis.
A couple of questions, please.
1. Is Prince 2 still highly regarded in the industry? is it worth pursuing as a qualification? or am I better off just building some solid project experience?
2. How is a Business Analyst different to a Project Manager?Comment

I was just trying to suggest that around 17 years, or so ago, that sort of role was paying £350 PD.
That was for my first contract as well.
I was stupid and should have started contracting back then but wasn't brave enough. I jumped across in 2007 and have been on 500 pd since then (more recently 550). But in 10 years the rate has been pretty flat.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Originally posted by Whorty View PostBack in 1997-2000 rates could be crazy and higher than today. I had mates on 900 pd day for roles that today pay 500. The Y2K bug made every company think they had to pay silly money for contractors. To be fair though, contractors were thin on the ground so you had to pay good money to get a good one. Today everyone is jumping into contracting meaning supply and demand is driving down day rates.

even after we proved it had NO impact on the operating system, they still insisted on onsite engineers.
