    The North South Divide in Finance contracts at present

    Finance test management roles in London are anything from £400 to £700. Similar roles north of Hadrian's wall £150 to £275

    Or is this just the stereotypical tightfisted jocks

        At least you're seeing roles up there. I'm in the midlands and not seeing much in the way of roles for me. Which is why I've just taken a contract down south and am going to be living away from home Monday to Friday.

        If the rates are that much different, it has to be worth a quick flight down to London? Even if you only do it for 6 months, you'll earn as much as 2 years up there!

          How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

            That's the norm for me - jobs in Jockland would also require me to stay over so that makes the role impossible when you factor in your Edinburgh city centre luxury bothy....

                Having seen the standard of Scottish bogs, I reckon he should ask for a rate rise.
                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
