Seriously where else in the UK can you open up a sham Ltd and start invoicing £500 a day + VAT - I just dont know
And what amazes me more then anything is that contractors are NOT 'experts' in their fields - Sure they get stuff done and can follow orders but is nt that also what a grad fresh out of college can do??
I might seriously be naive but can anyone RATIONALISE and justify why contractors get the rate they ask for (and how senior IT management dont look at the numbers and fall off their chairs)Comment

There is a wise old project managers saying in contractor circles:
You can overpay some contractors all of the time, or you can overpay all the contractors some of the time, but you can't overpay all the contractors all of the time.I'm alright JackComment
