          I noticed that VB.NET contract pay on average at least £100/day less than C# ones and there are a lot less of them. Why does anyone bother with VB.NET?

          VB.NET 86 -10 £337 -4.00 % 1382 (1.825 %)

              I've also noticed that C# ASP.NET developers earn a pittance compared with straight C# developers, so I advise unlearning ASP.NET if you want a rate rise.

                  I've got this theory.

                  years ago MSACCESS was taught in uni's as an exemplar so the students could get a project in. These guys left uni and a lot of them put ACCESS guru 5 years on their CV. Rates, and the reputation of the product fell like a stone.

                  The same is now happening with .Net. The good guys will survive, but for the average dude or new entry - forget it.

                    I've also noticed rates are down (compared year on year) on most skills.


                    http://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/contract.aspx

                    C# down 10%
                    XML down 8%


                    Crystal Report Writer down 68% to £200/day. Bad luck MF.
