    having debased Engineer, Consultant and Guru the HR/Recruitment wonks are starting on Specialist.

    I give it ten years and we will see 'Beef Patty creation & distribution Diety' Jobs on minimum wage.

    but a not bad entry for a graduate its ~ £18K + holidays. not the greatest but better than free apprenticeship.

    I am a managing director of my Ltd Co. What's the next step? On the bench?

    £90 for "an appreciation of IT" doesn't seem too bad TBH.

    Ah, got you. Will PM the details. To be fair, I were a youngster it might be worth a look.

    Had one when they tried to sell me a senior developer role for £180 a day. I actually want to see the quality of the candidates they get there as a few companies around here would happily use "consultants" for £400 a day and that gives me plenty of leeway.
