What world do you live in?

I'm the good looking one with nice hair.

You are shorter than I imagined and your co star has to carry you.

In the unlikely event the OP is not trolling.....

You're comparing apples with wheel barrows.

You should work on the assumption that you're going to work a max of 200 days / year, 10 months at around 20 working days per month.

That gives a gross income, before tax, insurance, accountancy fees, training, sick, pension, mobile phone, laptop, training and all of the other good stuff a decent permie would get of £66k.

Factor in the fact the client can let you go with zero notice, you could be out of work for an indefinite time, you could be forced to take a contract 100s of miles from home....

Still think £330/day is a lot? I'm not for one minute suggesting that it's a rubbish rate, but it's not the gross income you think it is.

no wonder i sit on my bottom now for a living .

anyone got a gig resetting passwords for £599 a day ?

Asking as I spotted a thread slamming a daily rate of £330 - roughly £80k a year - which is at the very least £50k take home pay a year. Is it really that bad? Do you know the average UK salary?

Jeez, you can't even buy a pack of playing cards for £330 these days....
