Having been in 2nd line support off and on from 1998 onwards I am finding it hard to believe that contract rates aren't any higher than year 2000 and permanent is no higher either. Having been offered a support role for 30k in 2001 I am astounded that simple inflation has not increased these same jobs to around the 45k mark. I regularly get emails and calls for the same 30k figure or less. Funny that putting a roof over your head in 2000 would cost you 150k but now it's 500k. Where does it give???
