European companies still don't pay enough to attract Uk contractors to EU

On iPhone, in Croydon office, on conf call with 12 US-based Bobs....

So yeah, missed it!

I don't know which part is worst!

UK rates are the absolute pittance, I refuse to speak to agents about contracts in the UK due the ridiculous sums although I do work there but via a US company and then we charge an arm and leg, particularly when doing an offshoring project

Croydon surely, could have been worse - Swindon...

You must be one hell of a scarecrow!!

With the pound tanking, it might make UK contractors more attractive.

To whom exactly? The agents charging clients yesterday's rates and paying contractors tomorrow's weak pound perhaps...

Don't you worry, after Brexit, ex-Army Catering Corps will be in great demand working down at the foodbank...

Their argument is living costs tend to be cheaper in the EU.

However they tend to advertise expensive places....

The airfares there and back every weekend however, are not cheap. And those need to be factored in. That alone adds about half a bag of sand to a weeks expenses, so the hotel costs barely enter into the equation.
