"Salaries for IT contractors working in the City have jumped by 11% in the past six months - to the highest level for two years - as banks look to upgrade trading and risk platforms following last year's credit crunch."

Salaries for IT contractors? How do they have visibility of what salary contractors pay themselves?

Another fine example of complete misunderstanding of how we operate...

Last time I got 5% - was certain of 10% but was told big crunch coming!

If only I had the strength to find a new contract...

Wow, "the highest level for two years"!
