Reply to: Role of the day

[TheDude]

I did Delphi when I did my HNC in Computing back in the late nineties / early noughties and it was considered ancient then.

I briefly worked with Delphi in the late 1990s but removed it from CV about 18 years ago.

It was a chilling 'I know what you did last summer' moment when I received this role in my inbox.

I hope you’re well.

I have a number of clients who are looking for Delphi Developers.

These are fully remote 3-6 month contracts which are outside of IR35.

There is flexibility to work full or part-time hours each week.

Rates are between £250-350 a day depending on experience.

I thought the Perl one I mentioned early today was an ancient skillset.

Can do it but why would anyone do historic work at that sort of rate - there is no upside - crap rate, no skill enhancement, probably a crap client

You'd get a reference from your wife, not your side chicks.

Except it's not a great gig on your CV when you want a proper role.

[ConsultingTechArchitect]

Which is great until you start looking for a new gig.

Looks like the type of role you could take 2 or 3 of and bring in £1k a day easily. They can't expect much effort for that rate. Keep expectations low and leave the role(s) off the CV if required.

Making £1,000 a day is, in my opinion, a good thing. Especially if it's a telecommuting case. It's a very large amount and a lot of people will love getting paid that much during the day. With that kind of money, it will be easier for me personally to fit money and make enough money. But since this is not my case yet, I do instant loans very often on an app I discovered there can.

Good luck with that - I have had simultaneous roles before but I did work them both! I will admit a couple of times I did reading on role B while sat in a conference call for role A that I absolutely had no interest in.

Fair enough folks.

Sounds like a bog standard boring database project commanding a lowish rate (but Outside) for fully remote working.
Not your dream but hardly ROTD-worthy.
Where are all the £80pd roles we used to laugh at?

That's exactly what I thought. Not the highest rate granted but not really worthy of pointing out. Fully remote will add tens to the rate so whoever takes that won't exactly be on the breadline.

What I was thinking. We can sneer, INKSPE etc., but they hardly jumped the shark with this one - boring rate for a boring role. Shrug.

Santander - and that's a lot of skillset for not very much money...

And they wonder why that paying peanuts gets them monkeys.
