... can't get my head around the contractor rates. Old muggins here can't be worth THAT much?!

I have trouble with contractor rates as well. I can't be worth THAT little.

Been a permie for 8 years now, done everything MS from Access 97 to C# 3.5.

About to be made redundant, but can't get my head around the contractor rates. Old muggins here can't be worth THAT much?!

You have my skillset AND C# 3.5 ???

You are on the gravy train for life mate, leaving platform 1 soon, stopping at Kerchinnnggg central, Mortgage paid East, Flash car junction and terminating at PullthebedsheetsoutofthecrackofYourArse.

Good luck

So how much are you worth then?

OK - I get round it by getting more than contractor rates. Still not enough though.

Not sure exactly, but at £300 a day surely they are going to expect --results-- shudder . I think just going to meetings and getting the
teas in isn't going to cut it any more.

Especially as C#3.5 hasn't been released. It's C#3.0 and .NET 3.5 at present isn't it?

C# 3.0
.NET 3.5 SP1

So yes, there isn't a C# 3.5

Incredible isn't it that you can get maybe £200/day as a contractor with no sick pay, no holiday pay, accountancy costs to pay, IR35 taxes to pay or contract reviews to pay, no free training, no income between contracts, no free health care, no pension contributions paid, no free life insurance.

I mean, it's like winning the lottery man!

£200! How do you get that MUCH? I only get half of that!

Oh. per day. I thought you said per hour.....
