Hear hear Milan.

But wait until I save Europe with .Net first, so I can retire before the rates drop.

To give you an idea, I was offered c100,000 Euros with an investment bank in Luxembourg a couple of weeks ago. .Net, permanent.

That may be the case but if you look on jobserve there are currently no contracts for .Net at the moment, or for quite a number of techonologies in Luxembourg so..it is a difficult market.

Believe me that is a one off, though EUR 100,000 is quite easily achievable as a contract rate in Luxembourg, but I would doubt you'd get much more than that.

..well £300-350 is realistic

Thanks, Blaster. Would be a big improvement on my current rate

[BlasterBates]

..well £300-350 is realistic, last year German banks were paying as low as £250.

Just type in your skill and Germany, Switzerland or Luxembourg, occasionally contracts pop up in Paris.

Nah, the one standing on the left is much better

I had been ignoring this thread, but lo, what a picture. Got any more?

I would gladly give any one of them the benefit (edit: apart from the fact I am happily married), particularly the one in the glasses.
