Nah, one of the girls would land up winning it.

I'm thinking the poll may be flawed. Asking a question about hourly rates to contractors is a little like asking average penis size to a group of teenage lads.

Poll results are so far indicating hourly rates in the top 10% in fact top 1-2%

AtW has already scoffed at the idea as he has two penises, SY has mentioned he's a eunuch and now we await the arrival of Dim and his 12 incher!

Really, is this the limit of your ambition?

CUK isn't what it was...

Allegedly Threaded could bill twice as much thanks to his time machine who could send him back in time just minutes before timesheet approval.

What's scary though is the number of contracts, which on the graph seems to be approximating zero.

I guess that's the conclusion; contracts are still paying well but there are many less than 10 years ago. All the others either left the sector or went permies.
