What counts as a good (daily) rate these days?

[BlasterBates]

Average rate 350-450 ....good rates above 500 up to around 600 in banking, exceptional above this.

AIX Administrator ..... £1,300,000 ... 31

Time to dig out the AIX books, methinks.

Oh I don't know, I guess IBM charge about £2500 so you should probably do the same I should think.

Or maybe you could provide some more information on what area/location/skillset/industry/experience/urgency you're on about.

Good answer to a stupid ******* question.

[chris79]

What ever you are personally happy with is 'a good rate'.

[Stolly]

Anything better than 0 is reasonable this last year.

in the current market £450-£500 and you are doing well if you arent a senior person.

[tim123]

Anything over £500, I'd suggest, at least for London.

I don't see 500 when times are good.

In the current market 200 would be about the going rate for what I do

Some people are dreaming if they think 400 - 500 pounds a day is a 'good rate' in the current market.

Unless you're in central london, I'd say that was a ******* good rate in the current climate.

A good rate in the current climate outside london is circa £300 a day. I'd go so far to save the average going rate is around £250 pd.

500 is still just about gettable for senior PM in London at the moment - but not many about. Although I've had lots offering a lot less...

I suspect the agencies on fixed percentages are able to offer this - the others may be taking advantage of the situ.
