It's almost as if they don't understand that doing ivory-tower strategic development ("in either Java or C#.Net") in an investment bank is more demanding than doing it elsewhere...
Would that rate even cover the travel and accommodation expenses into London, or cover the cost of living there?
I doubt it. I think a 'survey' (can't remember the source so may have been bollocks) found that you need at least £50k / year to even start to live comfortably in London. Of course that may be per household so a couple earning £25k each may be enough.
£200/day over the year, assuming ~20 work days a month comes to only £48k.
Ability to execute under accelerated timeframes
Ability to quickly adapt to change in priorities
Tolerance for conflicting demands on time and resources
So basically:
we're hopeless, we can't run projects, we can't decide what we want, but we want it yesterday.....
edit:.. and for plenty cheapness
