Also from what I've seen in my career testers are cheaper to hire that most other I.T. staff, there seems to a shortage in the general scheme of things when it comes to recruitment, under the current system not much is taught about testing in I.T. degree's

First interview today! Seemed to go okay, had a 2 hour talk with some of their techies and then wrote an application before speaking to one of their alpha geeks. Spoke to agent and asked for an extra 5k now I know where the bloody place is, it's miles away! About a 40 minute drive without traffic, so more like 50 minutes. They do flexible hours though so that might help but I may as well ask for more money and let the agent sort it out.
Do agencies play the same tricks with salaries as they do with day rates? I did not think so but can anyone confirm?
Phone interview arranged with a bank in London and got an email about another bank that have an opening I am qualified for (luckily I already know a guy on the team too!). A colleague from a previous company mentioned they might have me back and a friend reckons his manager is interested in my cv.
