You have to be careful the pimps aren't still charging top dollar and screwing you down to a woefully low rate. There are less gigs and they still have the same overheads.

So was that 250 a day for an IB?

I personally think 300 should be bare minimum for a contract in any IB in recession. I would even go for 150 (if i'll be in desperate need, which thankfully im not at the moment), but its coz I wont be spending time,energy and fortune traveling up n down the country and i'll be happy to pay that cost to avoid RyanAir and close to home.

A 'daily rate of £200 / month' sounds a bit confusing.

Recent Rates in London

Just missed a call from an agency and she left a long voice message.

6 months gig somewhere in London, development experience required in Finance (Capital Markets, Asset Management etc). Looks suitable to me.

BUT for my excitement she also mentioned daily rate of £200 / month.

No disrespect but even after serious rate cuts here in Scotland, Im getting lot more than that.

Obviously I wana go back to London for my next gig as Im quite bored here. But how come rates have fallen so much there. I think Permies even get similar stuff .

Is it for real ?? Because that lady sounded like an indian(with accent), so i wonder she tried to trap me as a 'cheap labour' (which i never mentioned in any of my CV)
