Your Best Rate And Year

[Scoobos]

780 p/d for a leading software company around 10 years ago or arguably £690 offshore for 4 years, lower rate, but zero tax.

Now working for the NHS for £275 INSIDE IR35 , during Covid - going to heaven and also paying what I "got away with" during the offshore years

I am jealous of all of these bold figures in this thread.

My best contract rates were 2019 and just shy of £600 per day on a couple 6 monthers and, now, because of the pending IR35 in the private sector, I accepted a fixed term contract that translates to roughly to £400 per day.

(I spent 3 months on the bench in the winter and managed to get in the door just before the "lockdown" )

Tulip!

Best year was 1548, six florins, two ha' p'orth groats, a cow and some chickens.

Never get those times back.

And yes the gig was outside IR35.

About to take a client paying over £1000/day.

I help build high value web-systems. Mostly these days it's lots of cloud infrastructure automation and lots of Kubernetes. Been getting more into the security side of things as well which is very lucrative if you have the experience.

Very lucky and fortunate, but it's hard work. They tend to get their moneys worth wherever I work.

I don't believe you.

I don't believe you.

That's more than you earn in a week!

I put my annual income (salary + bonus + company pension) from my last P60 into an online calculator, and my daily rate if you like, is £330 per day.

So if this geezer is really on £1K per day, then it's more like 3x than 5x.

I still don't believe him though.

Yeah. I can't believe such poverty exists in this day and age.

Do you want some spare change?
