By taking that £350/day junior PM role for 9 months, I was able to secure a rate of £1,000/day on the following gig. Which lasted two and a half years. Which was nice.I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.Comment

Originally posted by Franckommm... sounds like a fairy tale. Once you are in a certain rate, in my experience but I might be wrong, it's hard to go up a lot more. Unless that must be one of the very few clients who actually recognise your value, but I bet how many do you have to stop by before finding one?
Franco you are 100% right, I think you should stick to your permie jobComment

Yours was more an exception rather than the rule, I believe.I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.Comment

London - no ta!
There's no rate that would tempt me to work in London right now. I hated the place before a bunch of loons started running around with rucksac bombs strapped to their backs.

You can get a better rate than that just by programming java, no business knowledge required.

Originally posted by FranckoHow would you rate the probability of your rate to be increased more than 300% then the probability that you will be stuck to a low rate as the previous one was? Wouldn't it be wiser to wait to find an already decent rate? Yours was more an exception rather than the rule, I believe.
In my case, by thinking ahead and acting accordingly, I believe I significantly increased my chances. I used two gigs to combine two areas of expertise on my CV to create a highly desirable combination - well worth taking a rate cut for. However, if you think sitting around waiting for someone to break the door down and offer you your dream contract is a better bet, feel free to do that.Comment
