Cost of living and day rate

get warm and endless coffee for free

I prefer hot coffee, but whatever floats your boat

There does seem to be an almost fundamentalist view about not going to a client's office anymore from some. I do wonder what other industries never meet face to face with their clients from time to time.

the rates have climbed in my field with higher ones much more common and much easier to get nowadays. or maybe its me being more experienced and worth more? cant tell

Self delusion and habitual lying are more likely the reason.

I am required to be in the office for two days a week yet have had only one face to face meeting since I started in September - everything else is either on Skype or in Teams.


The guy who signs my timesheets told me when he speaks to recruiters their feedback is that the first thing techies want to know about a role is the hybrid working model - the day rate is the next topic of conversation.

When I was looking at perm positions a while back I remember some companies being uber proud to offer wfh 3 days a week, with the other 2 in the office of course. Works great if you live 6hrs away from the office
