Lowering salaries - it's the end of IT as we know it (and I feel fine)

[shaunbhoy]

I'd rather wash Elephants in the Ganges.

There much call for that?

I must admit to not having researched that role properly...

I'm going working for accenture in India.

I will be out in Jan to give you some training

[SupremeSpod]

Thanks for the training material!

Added to CV.

Btw, those f**kers are bigger than me, and better behaved...

[doodab]

Go on. Be a twat.

Hmm, suicide or a lifetime of golf. Tough call.

Have you washed many elephants?

Golf is like watching grass grow and getting tired while you're at it. I'd choose the gallows.

IMO the rates are lower

compared to when I started contracting by the second year I was on 100k. I am still on the same rate even though I am now older, fatter and more experienced. Based on both of the former I should be on another 30%

WHS.

I have been on the same rate, give or take, since I started contracting 12 years ago.

So either I'm being shafted big time, and agents are cackling with glee behind my back, or there has been a steady decline in real terms.

As most contractors I've discussed this with agree, I'd say the latter (er, my latter your fatter) is more likely.

You must be a right thicko, have you not heard of the OU?
