I wouldn't ever quote a rate on my cv - every gig is different. I might accept £300 for one gig, and turn down £700 for another. It depends on loads of different factors.

Exactly. A gig 2 miles from home in a brewery staffed by all females in their 20's using your favourite technology will certainly be a lower rate than one 400 miles away in a dingy 1970's office full of grumpy old men using some old boring technology that happens to be on your CV.Comment

Used to be I did classic DP, what IBM used to call "Add, subtract, and print like hell". Now I do data migration for modern CRM: don't do or print anything, just move data from one duff extended address book to another much more expensive one.
Sigh. And I have a brain the size of a planet.Comment

It depends on loads of different factors.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

yeah right."Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. "

I don't. I used to if I was asked to but stopped as people never saw it and always asked me again.
Might have to revert to it though as I am getting more and more from people offering me £22k a year jobs. Yet they seem upset when I say £50k, well thats the current rate.Comment
