DrewG's Market Update (undersold myself edition)

FFS why not just ignore the posts. Or are you all on the payroll to make the forum look more exciting?

I always find it a strange juxtaposition when people post on a thread about people posting on a thread. You are right of course but always makes me smile. It's like when someone accidently sends a mail to a massive company distribution list and someone does reply all and it all kicks off. There's always a few people that reply to all to tell everyone to stop replying to all. Knobbers.

that 900-1000 pd isnt Sterling probably Zloty or Lira

Massive amounts of projections there.

Just because you can't imagine those rates doesn't mean they don't exist.

You've haven't proven anything.

Apart from using poor use of ms paint.

Good luck.

The trick is wait a day or two after all the 'This isn't relevant for me, please remove me from the list' have stopped.

Then send the response and kick it all off again.

I can't imagine such low rates, but I guess they must exist.

FFS if you're not going to answer the question and just make a statement I'm off to make a cup of tea (paraphrase).

I believe the correct phraseology is:

A £1000 p/d? INKSPE.

im perfectly comfortable with a 1000 pd rate. I'm well aware they exist. I'm comfortable with my own charge rate - slightly higher than that for second class consultancies.

They do but a very small number of them. I'm not a great fan of using ITJobswatch as a yardstick but https://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/contra...by=3&orderby=0

So less than half the first page of 110 pages has a median of over £1k. There will certainly be the odd person over 1k when there median can be significantly less but that is likely to be a minority as well, particularly bearing in mind more roles are at or under market rate.

So I think we are all aware there are 1k rates out there but the very low number advertised and experience/seniority needed to attain them then it's a pipe dream for 99.9% of us.
