You know, I think it must be. I can't think of another reason in the current climate. Unless of course this is a job that requires certain skills that a BA would have and an ex-finance industry person trying to blag it would not."Israel, Palestine, Cats." He Said

Depends on your underlying skillset. If you are pimping yourself as a PM with no underlying or supporting skills then I'm not surprised rates are low as these types of PMs are two a penny.
I'm still getting calls from agencies quoting £600 PD and upwards for SAP and finance PMs.
Guess some of you PMs will have to retrain to keep up.Sval-Baard Consulting Ltd - we're not satisfied until you're not satisfied.

That's my problem at the moment I am a generic BA with PM experiance and have not got that niche skill set. Not much change of getting it either with the market as it is.
However, don't mind what I do really and something will always turn up.Just call me Matron - Too many handbagsComment

Yep - I have niche BA skills and have not been hit too badly for a contract I picked up beginning of the year."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

They are having some issues filling the roles at the moment, due to a lack of cv's coming in.

In my PM 'niche' the rates vary wildly. I'm applying for 250/day up to 375/day. My last contract was in the middle of that range.
To be honest, the difference (compared to pre-meltdown) is having to travel + hotel stay, even to get the lower end of the scale.
I applied for the one at the top of this topic, and was told 'no CRM exp - no good'; everything else was a good match - client can even afford to be fussy at this rate"take me to your leader"Comment
