its a finance co in leeds. I'm getting old (23 in july) so I need to settle down. My wife hates me staying away in hotels so she is keen for me to do it.
She says if I ever work away again she is going to have me chipped
:rolleyes
Zathra, I'm on 300/day here

Guest repliedSeriously.
Whatever the client is willing to pay. I've had quotes for VB/SQL server from about 120 a day (that will not even get the big left toe from underneath the Duvet) to 350 a day. That's before you get to the finance clients.

Guest repliedEO,
Hope it's not that place I worked at in York. Right cowboy outfit. Couldn't get any permies even back then and so got us lot in. A lot of us were sat there bored to tears. A lot of the permies were suppose to work at home but I checked as a security audit and not one logged into the network let alone do work. (Permies effectively did a 3 day week)
One contractor (not me) started doing the coffee and doughnut round at 10am. Got back from the city by 11am and broke off for lunch at 12pm. Everybody had jobserve screen on their IE.
To cap it off, when we all had finished "doing our time" and leaving, the managers tried spinning the line that they were moving to .net and we could be one of the ones moving to it.
Like I said, if you're going to that place in York that I've worked at, think twice !
(It begins with "P")

Guest repliedDP you are fooking right. How low do you reckon I should go.
All I need in life is 10 pints a day and enough money to pay my speeding fines

Guest repliedNo point earning a big salary anyway. It'll all go in tax and NI. Better off being poor. The government will like you better that way.

Guest repliedNot my skill set but I'd of thought add £5K to the figures also. I know on my client site ( Up Nth ) they've attempted to recruit a few permie VB people on sub 30K salaries and not faired very well. I think the advent of C# has started to push up all the MS skills a little. I was shocked how low the permie salaries had got since the Y2K days. Had a look myself but decided I'd try harder at contracting again !

Guest repliedYou'll get more interest in your Oracle skills than your VB skills. Do you have hard Oracle experienc? How recent and what versions is also a factor.

Guest repliedBit Low
Dim,
I would add 5k to both those figures.
Should pay more now though with the advent of .net, need to pay more to keep a person away from migrating their skillset to new tech

Guest repliedWhere?
That has a big bearing.
London - £35K ish these days.
Up North - £25K ish.
VB's old hat I'm afraid. VB6 mainstream support from MS ended in March this yr.
