    That is just nuts but there are some companies out there who would think this is ok. To be fair, in this case, I bet the agency is charging the client £100.

    I've had mates in the past say they know someone who is after an IT person for a few weeks. I've got in touch and £100/day offered and they think thats good. Honestly they do.

    (My old man is the same mind but he is 80. Asked me the other day how much 'people like me' earn. Didn't really want to tell him so he asked, more than £300 (which he thinks is a lot) a week. Umm yes Dad just about. On this basis now he thinks I'm loaded.)

      Surely this must win "the worst job ever advertised in the history of CUK" award.

      FFS they want a data warehousing expert with C# knowledge for under £10/hour! You can get more as a cleaner or painter!

      Computer Futures are on my own personal blacklist after that advert.....

          Learnt how to paint after watching youtube for 10 minutes. I pay my polish painter £120 a day in cash. I think that Computer Futures should be reported to the council for slave labour.

            That's BS. Painting is a skill.

            I learned how to do data-warehousing by looking up STAR on wikipedia but that doesn't make me an expert.

              Just had some painting done by sister-in-laws father. £50/day. Hes not very good mind so you get what you pay for.

                And try and get a reliable cleaner for £10/hour. Impossible. Most of them treat it as optional to turn up whether they need the money that week or not.

                  Only my painter himself thought my paint work was done by a professional

                    Well this Polish painter actually works 2x as fast as any other painter I have used so we get more than our money's worth.

                      Either your painter is crap, you have a natural talent, or he was being polite.
