I was called about the role. vCloud Director on vBlock, so not your common or garden vSphere Infrastructure, hence my comment on the rate 🤑

It would be nice to know the end client so that we could all avoid the impending inevitable cluster****.

Nothing is respected in Swindon.

£300 per day wouldn't cover the required personal security personnel.

Which makes it interesting in that..... does one go by the rate and presume it's a fairly simple role? or go to the interview and find out it's more in line with what you're suggesting to which you go back to the agent and say a higher rate is needed?

Really could mean anything from simply flipping out VMs from a template to far far more, maybe the range should be £300-600/day

Surely about £100 a day for Swindon (plus bodyguard).
