Todays high paying contract

[zathras]

Not!

My client, a leading publisher within the financial sector is urgently looking to recruit 2 x ASP. NET/SQL Contractors/Web Developers.

You must have at least 12 months ASP. NET experience ideally with VB. NET and ideally have experience of Classic ASP.

You will have experience of working in a fast-moving environment.

Demonstrable experience of developing data-driven public facing Websites in a fast paced environment under tight constraints.

Contract length will be 3 months initially. Interviews will be taking place next week.

The rate for this position is £18 - £20 per hour.

I did n't got for that rate at the bottom of the market!

i.e. we have no spec..

"You must have at least 12 months ASP. NET experience ideally with VB. NET and ideally have experience of Classic ASP."


You will be supporting and adding crappy features to a legacy asp application that we would like to upgrade to .net but it will never happen

[oraclesmith]

"Contract length will be 3 months initially"

....and if you're good value at that rate then we will coerce you to stick with it for the next two years.

I saw a C++ job on cwjobs the other day that was £10-£12 ph.

[xoggoth]

Do they get anybody for rates like that?

[TheMonkey]

I had a permie job like that once, back in the dark ages.

[Troll]

I've noticed some appallingly low rates on offer recently-often for quite experienced positions.

I figure it must be for a large bank wanting more FTV's in, and will use the non-take up by local contractors as supporting evidence to the authorities

Whenever you speak to agents about this, they always say that they have had loads of applicants. Who are they? or is it bollocks?

If you look at the jobs on reed.co.uk youll often see the applicants for the lower rate gig's have more applicants....


and if I hear what is the lowest you will go down to phrase again I will tell them where to shove it. Wish they would be open and say the client will pay 400, take my cut off and we can put you in for 350. Why the fek is it always shady hush-hush and one sided (the agent knows what your getting but will harldy ever disclose his cut)
