Job of the day ?

You spend a lot of your time in the traps then?

You'd need to spend a lot of time in there to earn your first £20 poo.

Good office counts for a lot on a contract. Bet they have great coffee there, and good toilets.

Now I'm worried - I actually got called regarding this one, just because I have sharepoint on my CV as a BA.

...
Location WARWICK
Country UK
Start Date ASAP
Duration 3 MONTHS+
Rate UP TO £9.00 PER HOUR

£9 per hour (if you get the full whack) is £360 per working week. With 25 days holiday and 10 days public holidays, even with no sick or bench rime you're looking at £16200 p.a. billing, say £14362 gross salary after ERs

Compared with:

McDonald's seeks trainee managers
...
The company, which has featured in the Times Top 100 Graduate Employers list each year for the past 10 years, offers trainees a starting salary of £21,500 a year, with additional allowances for those working in London and the South East.
...
Following the initial training course, trainees work with a restaurant management team for two to three years before becoming a business manager on a salary of £45,000.

Other benefits include 25 days' holiday a year, or 30 days after three years, a paid eight-week sabbatical every 10 years, and the option of a company pension.

Note: I do not work for McDonalds, nor indeed eat their products. But I think I'd rather get a job there than the contract advertised above.

... within luxurious offices this organisation offers applicants the possibility of ongoing extensions as part of long-term programme and is paying up to £9.00 per hour...

This reminds me of government building I worked at, they had Canadian oak railings that cost £1200 per meter (rough guess x1800), those swanky chairs at £900 a pop (x5,000 of them ) and they paid peanuts to the run of the mill staff... they wondered why morale was low.

I have and would again work out of an unheated portacabin in January if the rate was right.

WHS

Good PMO's are like rocking horse tuplie; they keep the whole thing afloat in my opinion - I would expect to pay £200 pd for one.

No kidding, the PMO I mentioned was brought in to help out a Programme Director, Programme Manager, 8 PM's of various levels and 6 BA's, she was excellent and easily worth £200 a day.

Even a normal security guards earns £9-10 / hour.

[cojak]

At that rate they would be lucky to get a barely literate chimp/office junior let alone a professional.

There was a temp (traditional temp agency etc) PMO at my last gig on £12/hour and she was great, but she was underpaid at that for her skills which certainly didn't include BA work.

Poor Ross then bothered to read my CV ( I have also done PM work) and said - maybe they are looking for a PMO with a degree - do I know any!

Any offers?

That's a ludicrous rate for the knowledge and skills of a BA.
