There is no such thing as 'the market'. It's just a construct of perception that some people feel cosier inventing because they can't be bothered to plan their business. (in my opinion)

Dude, no one will give you a senior role if you go in at a rate that low. Either ask for money or take a junior role at £400, you can't have it both ways.Originally posted by boxman View PostI've been looking at about £400 a day. As I've got a dozen years in finance on the business side, 10 years in IT contracting and led a team until last month I'm clearly looking for roles that are more senior and therefore don't come up so frequently.
That's the plan anyway

I'm in IB/.Net. I have two six hundreds on the table and had to push many specs back. Most guys I know have also pushed above the 6 mark. All looks rosy to me.Comment

Probably worth noting that I'm in the South West where rates are somewhat lower than London. Junior roles paying £250-£300 max with £400 being at the top end of senior roles.Dude, no one will give you a senior role if you go in at a rate that low.

Sorry. I didn't realise they had computers out there.Comment

Certainly there are computers and also a rather better quality of life than just putting up with the daily city grind. I did ten years in London and I know that I don't want to go back thanks!Comment
