Is £300 per day a good rate for a very short gig of mainly working from home? The (possible) contract of supposedly 4-6 weeks, the choice of people to do it is very limited (as admitted by the agent), perhaps £350-400 is more reasonable?

Are you asking whether you think they will cough up more or whether you need more? Both are quite different questions .... neither of which i could answer...
£300 is fine...--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

kramer: it was a quick straw poll just to see if the rate is so low that it would be below any self-respecting contractor to take

Well, I was not looking for it - agent found me and he admitted they are struggling to find people for that job (rather specialist), it seems to me that £350 for working from home and £500 in the office will be reasonable, perhaps £400 at home? Quite frankly I am reluctant to take it as it would defocus me and I am dubious as to whether they can achieve what they want in the first place (something I willl clarify later today), but doing some stuff from home for a couple of weeks for reasonable money could be handy.Comment
