£30k-ish for a PM job is not unusual. Even if it should be.

I've never met a decent PM who wasn't on 60k or more.

Yeah for a permi job but not a contract role. rate is insulting TBH

[d000hg]

You don't get paid for skill but for what the market can stand. Solicitors and doctors charge a lot because if they didn't, people wouldn't spend nearly 10 years getting qualified.

900 pound a week is still a lot of money in the UK. Let's get some perspective

Not for the level of experience and skill the position demands (according to the ad)

Solicitors charge anything up to 200 or 300 pounds an hour, and is a senior PM any less skilled in their own way?

I called a gig a few months ago that were looking for Senior Service Managers with budget responsiblity for £180 a day. First thing I asked about is the rate and the poor agent (did I really say that??!?!?) sounded crestfallen. Very apologetic and sounded as pissed off as I was but insisted that is what the client is looking for. Pointed out only bobs would consider that rate and she just sighed. Actually felt sorry for her at the end.

Agents are not pleased with this carry on either it seems.

In Glasgow though, that's why the rate is bad. They eat their children there you know.

At least it won't be caught under the new public sector rules with a rate like that.

Worrying that the public sector may want to import a workforce at the expense of an existing domicilied workforce if it is a way to recruit Bob

Did you ask if there was a typo with the rate, should it have been £1800 a day?

I did and she apologised profusely and admitted she isn't going to get anyone at that rate... I could live with more agents like this.

They might be advertising to demonstrate they've sought candidates on the EU market but couldn't find anyone, which opens the path for bringing in someone on an intra company transfer.

Another possible (but much less likely) explanation is that they're content for someone to work from home and anticipate only two or three hours a day would be needed to keep everything ticking over.

If that is so then it might suddenly look quite an attractive rate for someone already working from home on something else.

Aldi staff are paid more.

It might be an ICT thing. Or it might simply be a cheap company who looked at what their permie PM's salary was and can't do maths so will go bust before your first invoice is paid.
