Here's a guess.
It's probably in Oslo or Stavanger.
It's oil&gas related.
And you'll be needing a lot more than £400 per day to make it worthwhile.

Bob Agencies - just reminded myself how useless they are
Just had a call about a role in Norway, they couldn't tell me anything about the role other than the client was WiPro and that they needed a start date and a minimum rate.
Where in Norway, as it's a big country - they didn't know
Any potential for flexible / remote working - they didn't know
The actual end client - unknown
What the role looked like day to day - couldn't tell me
Rate - circa £400/day
This is for a role that would often get £600-£700 in London before Norway's tax situation, travel costs and general expensive living is taken into account.
Has anyone ever actually taken a role from Bullhorn Reach, Damco, Silverlink or one of the other many seemingly clueless bunch? Am I being unfair?
I tried to explain I was keen on a role more focussed on what I have spent much of last decade doing (Citrix & VMware architecture, design, implementation) rather than the slightly too fluffy stuff I'm doing at the moment (more EA/strategy) and that I could be flexible on rate accordingly, especially if the client could be flexible on location, hours and so on. If everything had stacked up I might even have considered the abysmal rate had the opportunity proved interesting. It was however like speaking to somebody who couldn't understand plain English. Oh.
