Reply to: Barclays rate cut?

They were offering 250 a day for Service Managers (not the performace managers etc) just after they walked everyone 3 years ago. I wasn't aware it had gone up and down since so it is what I would expect from Barclays at the moment.

Dunno how they get away with it. They must have some right toss pots contracting there now.

free market at play.... To be honest. nothing surprises me about Barclays anymore

Just an update, agent contacted me about a DF role at radbroke, £250 a day. I laughed. 250 for a DF, if that doesnt indicate general rate cuts, I dont know what does.

DF?

to be honest, £250 to work close to home is not such a bad rate in the current climate.... I think it will pick up in a few weeks time but you can't blame them for trying to get somebody in on a reduced rate.

They won't be contractors tho they will be Inter Company Transfers fresh off the plane via whichever outsourcing company is flavour of the week.

Yes, but that's different from rate cut for contractors that we are talking about. If we were talking about cutting contractor rates and replacing with cheap bob permies I would agree with you.

Seems like I riled you enough to make you cry like a girl. -ve rep? lol.

Actually, it was you who got 'riled' and cried like a 'girl' in your first post.

DTAKUATB.

Load of bollocks. No sane minded bob would take £100 a day which is same as a £2k a month permie salary. If you are going to slate bobs left and right, at least put some believable figures! Fixed your as well

They'll just get more bobs in who think 100 a day is a king's ransom.

Barclays rate cut?

I've been at Barcap a good while and have never had a rate cut. There was one introduced a while back but I got an exemption. Didn't hear about this one either..

Mate of mine is there on a good rate and no whiff of a cut..

Took me a year to get my LBG 10% reversed...and that took a very supportive client to fight it all the way through.
