Daily Rate Poll

C++ with Summit = more than £800 a day, closer to £1000 after a couple of years.

I really need to learn C++.

I was deliberately leaving out niche stuff - from what I gather these top-paying C++ roles tend to be very mathematical doing Quants and other stuff. No idea if it's actually that hard or not, never looked since the number of calls I've had from agents about C++ (and Java, and C#) is zero - it's Flex they always phone me about and these tend to pay well.

What do you do now?

<400 is a pretty wide area, I'd imagine 3-400 makes up a huge part of that. And even I as a coder have seen roles at £600+ I could apply for (in London)

What a tulip sockie. All it has posted has been utter crap so far. Retire it please.

If it is a real person you wanna retire this in shame anyway.

I have a day rate, so I don't apply for anything below that. If a deluded agent calls me and offers me a low rate, I just say "I will not get out of bed for that".

And it's not just contractors...

I had Agent A call me last week about job in the South west. Sorry too low I said, the cuts must be having an impact I said. This is despite me operating in a very niche market.

Agent B called 2 days later for the same job, and seriously I'm not pulling your leg here, starting at 140% of Agent's A opening offer.

Gosh they are at it, must be preparing for christmas...

What a crap poll. There's no context at all. Under or overpaid compared to what or whom. And stopping at 550, can't you imagine anyone earning more than that?

There's a better rate poll n Busness & contracts, I suggest you look there.

I think you're over paid mate, whatever work you do

What a crap poll. There's no context at all.

Especially area. Someone earning £300 p/d in a rural location would be equivalent to at least £350 p/d in The City - probably more - for doing exactly the same role.

Epic fail on the poll.

Where's the andyW option?
Where's the £550 to infinity and beyond option?

Maturity? On here? Bwaaahhaaaa

... And what if you're on 450? Is that 400 - 450, or 450 - 500?

Hope you're not a coder DA.

Created poll to see what people on here really are on - Lets see how mature people on here are

Hopefully contractors can then assess whether they are over or under paid

It's not a question of been over or under paid.

What are your skill worth to the project.

So the truth is, it's not me, it's you.
