Rates are great, if it wasn't got very high taxes and crazy high cost of living (housing).

Originally posted by garnet View PostI am not sure what rate do they need to offer me to move to London?
I guess £1000+/day for up to six months will be OK.Leave a comment:

If it's gone, a good plan b is creating a new one...
As for getting my career above the third-line engineer level that is is, I have to confess I am clueless.
Maybe a good plan B would be to have a consultancy to assess people like me to see whether it is possible for them to advance their careers (do they have the aptitude and drive?), and to show them what they need to do to put this into effect.
I think there are career consultants and coaches, but not in IT as far as I can see.
Trouble is, from my point of view, is how to separate the charletans from those who can potentially help.Leave a comment:

For London that's not much more than a tube driver with overtime, and they'd expect you to be Stephen Hawking of the finance and quant world.
I know builders fitting kitchens earning more than that.Leave a comment:
