Boomed!

[TykeMerc]

I'm happy for you Bolshie especially since you're content with the rate

Just got a call from the agent, new 3 month contract starting a week tomorrow. 300 quid a day which is more than my last role!

Keep the faith people. You just got to believe in yourself no matter how rocky the road may look.

Well done!!

£300 a day I am saying is a lower rate then I quote... not sure which field Bolshie is in but I was just hypothesising.... just brings back some reality. We weren't going for the same role - I doubt it.

And yet in another thread you say you're having trouble getting interviews? A reality check may be in order??

[MrHelpful]

aye - im astonished... but i keep being told im being reasonable. Not one to hijack the thread. Well done Bolshie.

Nah, not undercutting anyone. Im based in the north west and 300 a day is top end for my skillset.

I might get 400 - 450 a day if I worked in London but that's just somewhere I dont want to work.

£300/day is generally very good for the north west.

£450/day may be 'average' for London but that's possibly for a bank and they like daily rates so they can squeeze 10 hour days out of the mugs. On top of the 1 or 2 hour commute each way.

I'd rather work outside London (for various reasons) and take a lower rate knowing I'm at home with my feet up by 6pm.

You only need to spend a few minutes on the job boards to see what rates are on offer. £300 a day for anywhere outside London, let alone "up North", is really OK in this market. e.g. there are many support/migration contracts paying far far less than this. Well done Bolshie!

Well done Bolshie!

Gonads to anyone trying to pish on your parade with "big talk" about rates... IDGAF about your rate....

The thread title says it all....
You are boomed - and I am boomed for you!

Congratulations and well done Bolshie. Good luck with your gig.

Hurray! Good news Bolshie. Always good to hear about one less on the bench.
