Rates Are Depressing

[Clippy]

So 550-600 that i have been getting for the last few years are unusual?

Yes, un-usual in that they are a figment of your imagination.

A quick search of your previous posts highlights your contradictions regarding your rate.

Following on from my previous I find that most people are smart enough to understand they need to specialise but when the masses are doing this with a view that they cannot outsource this to Bob it has the effect of driving down the rates.

Just type your selected any <wish> career path into jobserve and it is going to give you a reasonable view of the market. Even though I see it is tough for most people including the Bobs to beat me for the jobs my rate it pretty much now dropped to where it was in 2000. This means working in banking which is most probably the most sh1t area to find yourself. Littered with demi Gods and ego's of tw@ts of the highest order who think they are actually good. sh1t and I thought as I got older life would get easier, wtf happened

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.

BT used to have an office there.

I quite enjoyed a short stint in Ipswich (not at BT).
