    From 4th quarter 2009 into 2010 is not going to be a good billing year (rate cuts and hours caps). 2008 was my tops, 2009 was pretty good. 2010 sees me taking home approx the same as I could in a senior permie position. I see no improvement at all in the market so far this year.

    I did a fair amount of overtime/out of hours working last year, so in total I billed for 262.5 days in 2009.

    2008 was 212 days.

    Before my time, but indeed, you can see the title of the "speling" icon is "Fleety Teach" when you hover over it.
