    Poorly at the start of the 90s, ridiculously high by the end when the "Millenium Bug"/Internet dev raised rates to phenomenal levels. In fact I never got as much again (working in dev) till I changed roles completely.

    Was sorry when the contract came to an end, but the proceeds funded a deposit on one of my BTLs.
    At the time a 2-bed garden flat in a decent area of London was £60K. Oh happy days.

    Can't get a look-in

    Several roles that in Telco or Banking world would have seen me at least get an interview have produced diddly squat.

    Perhaps they're more intuitive
