Worst contract opportunity of the day competition

[chicane]

To confirm, as this is a start up the day rate is circa £100 per day. GCS is acting as a recruitment business in relation to this vacancy.

I love the way they use their startup status to justify the rate. Cr*p pay and no stability - what more could the aspiring contractor want?

£70-90 a day for data entry isn't bad.....

Those rates for php entry/mid level are not that outrageous to be honest, seen those kind of offers for years (5 plus) which was main reason I stopped doing php work 5/6 years ago, does not even appear on my CV anymore due to amount of calls I got from agents offering stupid contracts like that.

Basically kids/graduates and Indian offshore co companies gutted the low/mid teirs of the php market and dragged the higher end down as well
