I am currently on the £350-ish mark - contract ending soon. Moving onto a permie post of £45K plus all the so-called perks with the crepe that goes with it. Best contract rates that I can see in my area are the £250 mark.
May as well stick to being a permie the way things are right now!
Even a friend who is a Team Lead on well over the £400 mark level was sniffing around the £250 job! (Which went quick, many more times applicants). -

I knew its getting a bit bad, but didn't realise it was that bad , I thought it was bad as for newbies / people without extensive experience, or within specific sectors.
OMG, I better start kissing the hell out of my client arse to keep me on... unfortunately just moved roles to a new project and hate the people on that team... wonder if I could sniff to go back to the old project which was put on hold, but now starting again...Comment

Always a few niches etc in demand and some people who score easily on the end of the current contract. My experience says it is quite tough at the moment !Comment
