    Ours are in £, there's are in $.
    Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

        I did some contracting in the states about 2.5 years ago

        Main points.

        I was doing a series of short visits (5 day training courses).
        Americans for some reason love UK tutors/experts
        All expenses were paid on top of the rate (including the flights)
        NO VAT
        I got £550 per day
        I often sayed over a for a week of leisure between 1 week engagements.

        That said, Americans are just weird. Everywhere I went, way to many people were overtly into Jesus and in your face about it.

          Difference from UK market in that period?

          In the UK the rate was £450 per day expenses were usually on a case by case basis (got em most of the time, but a lot of haggling)
          No religious nuts in your face about Jesus all the time.
          In the UK people don't like experts. Heheh
