    But anyway up here you don't need a big mortgage. £150k will get you a perfectly nice 3 bed detached house with a decent garden a handful of miles out of town.
    £400k for that here.

          even in leafy Slough!


          We are probably the lucky few, most of us will have been in the top 10% of raw intelligence at school, our parents or other influences gave us a good work ethic and instilled the determination in us to be good. But as Cliphead said it was mainly our choices that made us what we are.

            Could you elaborate please? Why am I on the wrong forum?

              I'd do £350 per day in London. After expenses I'd still be £300 in the clear and that ladies and gentleman is actually quite a lot of money in the grand scheme of things.

              Bloody greedy contractors.

                Once you have factored in the usual such as 46 weeks per year, pension, company NI etc, then you are on a rough equivalent of £50k p.a. Wouldn't you be better off getting a permie job for that?

                  Do your maths again and then come back with the right number.

                    I bloody wouldn't do that anywhere. I don't like working in IT that much and want to maximise take home before getting out.

                      Which is why you'll be working in IT for the remainder of your days waiting for the big bucks and out!
