Don't listen to these gimps. 25 an hour is ok for your first try and the experience you get is worth far more.

25ph * 37.5 / 5 = £ 187.50 per day
Either way that is low, especially for a 'management' role or are you more on the engineering or administration ( PSO etc ) side.
Just keep in mind ASSenture will be billing you in for circa £ 1K per day ++

Despite what anyone says, ACN is great to have on your CV.
And yes, £25 p/h is extremely low; what role are you doing?

Having had accenture come in and try to 'save' a project I was involved in.
All i can say is, they are the biggest bunch of clown shoe wearing cock-nobbers I've ever had the miss-fortune to be associated with.
All the comments previously about BS, golfing, rugby playing, stripy shirted f*ckwits. Is completely and wholly true.
I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy, hadn't a clue. As for working long hours, not this bunch in late out early with a long lunch in-between ( must have all been contractors ).
Needless to say they didn't last long & the project was saved, by bringing in the right personnel with the right knowledge ( ahem, that'll be me then )
Good luck on your first contract, even with ASSenture. Hope you've got a game face as you're going to need one

Accidenture, the rabbit hutch consultancy. First there's two, then four, then eight. Next thing you're over-run with the buggers.

Working for Accenture... will be definetly "for" rather then "with"... great bunch of people to see how they operate - slick and professional.... its a well oiled machined. However if your a contractor don't be suprised to be treated as an "outsider" and be on guard... if you don't know something just stay quiet or BS, BS, BS.... thats what they all do! just make sure you like steak, rugby and golf and your 75% there.

If your contract is with Accenture and they are just paying the invoices through NetworkersMSB then that is probably OK. Make sure your actual contract isn't with NetworkersMSB though... or if it unavoidably is, make sure you check it for exclusivity clauses, and make sure they haven't put any on Accenture's side either.

From everything I have read...and I have spent a lot of time reading, Ltd Co. Is the way to go on a £25p/h rate....am I right?
£25/hour is very low for a contract, what are you doing there to warrant such a low rate?
