Same contract, different rates

[darmstadt]

Do agencies think contractors are stupid:

Position: z/OS DB2 engineer - Knutsford
Location: Knutsford
Rate: £260 - £265 per Day

Position: DB2 DBA - z/OS
Location: Cheshire
Rate: £200 - £280 per Day

Same contract advertised by 3 different agencies, one with no rate and 2 with differing rates. Either someone is lying or someone is taking a bigger hit.

Mind you I don't know anyone who would do the above for that rate. Over here it would be more like GBP450 per day, probably more. I personally would go for this one as its probably the same place:

Position: End to End Infrastructure Designer
Location: Knutsford
Rate: £330 per hour
