Builders on the other hand... £200+/day isn't unheard of. Not far off my first contract day rate of £250/day (I was buzzing when I got that can you imagine!)

Not in and around London they don't. Lots of wealthy southerners with lots of money and no time, hence rates for every trade is booming.

Why anyone in IT bothers with sub £300/day rates is mind boggling....

Painter and decorators charge about £150 per day these days and are never short of work.

No studying, certification or lengthy interviews, plenty of pub time, plenty of bored housewives to entertain.

Are contractors so desperate?

Isn't that below minimum wage? Though probably only in the UK - not in India.
