    Daily Rate Poll

    Created poll to see what people on here really are on - Lets see how mature people on here are

    Hopefully contractors can then assess whether they are over or under paid

    It's not a question of been over or under paid.

    What are your skill worth to the project.

    So the truth is, it's not me, it's you.

    I have a day rate, so I don't apply for anything below that. If a deluded agent calls me and offers me a low rate, I just say "I will not get out of bed for that".


    Where is Churchy when you need him

    But you would get in for a lower rate

      Epic fail on the poll.

      Where's the andyW option?
      Where's the £550 to infinity and beyond option?

      Maturity? On here? Bwaaahhaaaa

        ... And what if you're on 450? Is that 400 - 450, or 450 - 500?

        Hope you're not a coder DA.

          What a crap poll. There's no context at all. Under or overpaid compared to what or whom. And stopping at 550, can't you imagine anyone earning more than that?

          There's a better rate poll n Busness & contracts, I suggest you look there.

          I think you're over paid mate, whatever work you do

            Especially area. Someone earning £300 p/d in a rural location would be equivalent to at least £350 p/d in The City - probably more - for doing exactly the same role.

                And it's not just contractors...

                I had Agent A call me last week about job in the South west. Sorry too low I said, the cuts must be having an impact I said. This is despite me operating in a very niche market.

                Agent B called 2 days later for the same job, and seriously I'm not pulling your leg here, starting at 140% of Agent's A opening offer.

                    <400 is a pretty wide area, I'd imagine 3-400 makes up a huge part of that. And even I as a coder have seen roles at £600+ I could apply for (in London)
