Yeah it's enough to fund all my fantasy trips to America.

Careful. That fantasy travel can play havoc with your fantasy blood pressure.

No doubt rates will go down if you can't speak the English language and live in the UK. Sure there is demand for skills but you need to be able to communicate.

I'm on the top end of rates for my skill set in my region, not complaining right now but we will be once this contract finishes and I'm having to take a pay cut. #Misserable.

[eek]

I can't see it myself. The rates for my new skillset (3 years work to get here mind) are very reasonable... Still not equal to 1999 though...

I recently got back from there for a month. Had 3 weeks remote work from my uk client too at london rates!

Rates are relative. Currently on the most I've been on but there's always the risk of a rate cut, it goes with the territory.

I've found rates steady and I don't expect them to change for a while despite what's coming for us in April.

There's a lot more Bob agencies out there peddling Bobs at Primark prices.

Tories have handed them a Carte Blanche free for all on work permits.

Here's a picture of my agent last week.

Guffaw!

and there in one picture is a clear explanation of why the US will never agree, in the foreseeable future, to abolish cash worldwide or even venture far into NIRP territory.

Hi fellow contractors
It has come to my attention this year 2015, the contract rates have gone down considerably throughout most of the regions.

It is of my opinion that the Agencies have obviously have up their percentage and contractors seem to be loosing out considerably.
I would be interested to have a discussion on this if someone is interested?

The difference between loose and lose (grammar lesson)
