Ok - I suppose if you look at it like that - I looked at the role
and automatically took databases,c#,vb,2008 - the whole thing as a given and
imo £25 per hour......forget it.

Yes £20-25/h for just ASP.NET isn't historically bad. No database knowledge required. No middleware or messaging. Not even any preference for VB or C#. No specific industry knowledge either.

Honestly, while £15 would be low end (but not outrageous) £20 to £25 has been about average for a bog standard web dev outside of finance for a long while now (even well before the crash).

Web dev market never really recovered from the 2001 crash due to a combination of outsourcing and all the Uni's still churning out new media/web devs like they were going out of style (someone needs to tell Uni's the DotCom Boom is over). Anyone who has not got out of that sector or become high end specialised (Security is best one) should have become accustomed to crap rates a long time ago

If you know anyone thinking of going into that area tell them to forget it (unless you dislike them), they will be at pay rate level of helpdesk jockeys before too long

WTF does digital mean now?

Used to mean video/audio and sometimes graphic work but now it's a stupid catch all term that means whatever the particular company wants it to mean, basiclly the new "Web 2.0"

It says "Digital experience desirable". I thought I knew what 'digital' meant.

I keep seing "Digital Project Manager" roles and "Digital systems experience".
