Rates Are Depressing

You can fly to Eastern Europe and get a good quality surgeon dirt cheap. Nothing´s safe not even heart surgery.

Of fly to India and get it for plenty cheapness, and Bobs your uncle

To take on all that for £30K you'd have to be a tribble.

(unless it was a stepping stone for bigger and better things elsewhere)

I've just started a new job on the best rate I've ever been on. However that could mean:

All my previous rates were crap

Bobs aren't yet into what I do

Rates drop off a cliff when you leave London, so I'm not sure what you can expect to earn in some small farming town like Ipswitch. £300 does not sound too bad in fact!

Anyhow I'm not sure why they'd need Java developers out there. I thought it was all combine harvesters and cider.

Rates rocket when you reach the continent.

I am working on my own software projects in my spare time, you got to be working on a plan B as there is going to be bugger all left in 5 to 10 years.

Weren't we saying that in 2001?

WHS. Rates top out at about £400 in the more rural areas - anything more would be incredibly niche - and likely to be quite short term.

£300 seems about right for the area

Yes.

Very unusual for a rural area. Basically you've been overpaid for the market. Nice if you can get it - and well done for making it last for a few years. You might also be lucky/skillful enough to land another one at the rate. But it ain't the market rate for Ipswich.
