[CyberRock]

Does anyone know what the typical day rate is for an IT Security/ Cyber Security contractor working in Kenya (Nairobi) or other similar African country?

You need to be careful with Africa some countries only allow a limited transfer of funds per month , when I looked at a role in Namibia was going to take 2 years to get all the money out

This isn't normally a problem.

All you need to do is email someone in the UK and ask if you can transfer all of the funds to their bank account.
In exchange for them then transferring some of the money to your UK account you can allow them to keep a percentage.
It normally helps if you're offering sums in the millions of the pounds.

Gas/oil industry - £750-£800 (could include a mix of on-shore/off-shore). Higher rates for more riskier countries (Nigeria).

I'm not talking about basic IT Office systems security - this is about security of process control systems, automation systems, etc)

You could try e-mailing people asking if they can help you transfer your $5,000,000 zwd out of the country for a small cut. Who would say no to that, free money innit.
