You must be on 2k a day as a contractor?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

I didn't go into contracting for the money (day rate nothing like £2K but still a nice wodge). I needed to start to have some control over where I was working and what I was doing - pick and choose my projects so I wasn't spending my life in airports and hotels (today is Wednesday this must be Frankfurt etc.) and also to work on the sort of programmes I wanted to - not just the ones where my employer could generate most income!! my charge rate was around the £2K a day rate and if that meant they sent me somewhere obscure to some obnoxious client and an undeliverable programme then they'd do it to get the money.
Now I decide if I want to be in an obscure place with an obnoxious client - and funnily enough that isn't what I want so I don't do it ...
Haven't looked back - good gigs in places where I get to see my family and a little bit of an up in income to make it just dandy!Comment

I only ask because senior permie positions in my field pay nowhere near that, management may get you 60-70, you'd have to be a least mid 30s in age for that. But it seems a fair few here are getting very large salaries at very young ages for non management roles.
The job you did however did seem very demanding.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

£30k plus around £15k in overtime.
Ironically this was just before I was laid off in 2001.
Still, it gave me the push to go contracting............
