In front of the barristers.

What? At the bottom of the stairs?

The bottom end is over-run with people who can fix PC's and do a bit of admin, people who digressed from these roles have found themselves falling back in the downturn. Most of the tech outsourcers only take on temps/contractors, the big players like EDS and Fujitsu can't take on permies because they've just laid off thousands.

This has caused a market rate collapse, ever wonder why you don't see lower/middle end IT jobs advertised? No need when every agent has 1,000's of CV's for every position.

If he is working for (contracting) for EDS, EDS will be charging the end client £100 to £200 per hour!
I would suggest that it is better to put an add in the local newspaper for PC repairs and charge £20 to £30 per hour for fixes rather than working for a low wage.

On a serious note I noticed in your breakdown that subsistence is included as part of your "tax free expenses". Go really careful around this, a lot of brollies use it as an example to up the theoretical take home percentage.

In order to reclaim subsistence it has to be a legitimately incurred expense no matter what your brolly tells you. (They will frequently say they have an agreement with HMRC that there is no need to produce receipts for expenses incurred, this may well be true for them, but it is not something which extends down to you).

Anyway, back to the party...
