Another de-benching?

[MrMark]

Well, I won't believe it myself until I've been there a while (been on the bench a year). Poor rate for London and I'll be close to losing money, but it will, I hope, get my brain cells working again...plus get my work record looking acceptable again.
Any pimps reading this who want to fish, well I won't be answering the phone, so don't bother!

Woohoo! A contract in which you'll be close to losing money! Good for you!

[MrMark]

Well done! What do you do?

thx. I generally work with databases (and applications),whether it be Oracle, sqlserver, Ingres or Mysql. Administration, optimization or data analysis.

Yes but 'close to' isnt actually losing money is it?

I imagine that means your a DBA? Can I ask what kind of rate it is for London, I am in a similar area except more to do with development...

No. No.
I'm afraid I'm not going to divulge any more, as I'm sure you get agents lurking hoping to poach.

Congratulations.

You may not be rolling in the contracting cash just yet but you'll feel better about yourself and it is a step in the right direction.
