    Contracting Rates in the City

    I was wondering about moving from my low paid job to an exciting City bank or hedge fund, but I'm not sure that I could afford the rate cut.
    I'm alright Jack

    I work with a couple of late 30s long term contractors (10+ yrs) who have just come to Oz from London.

    They are both planning on retiring in the next couple of years ... from the coin they've earned programming in the City.

    You can't knock it. A lot of average bods have done very well out of it.

            This implies you understood 'scence'. Please explain

              Demand, rates and salaries have gone up for certain skills at the top level e.g. credit risk analysis
              Hard Brexit now!

                  Not all are suffering, im paid very well by my Hedge Fund client who is regarded universally by analysts/media to have managed itself very well and will benefit from the closures of others

                    Sounds similar to me, except that I came to London from Greater London. Oh and I'm not late 30s, don't have 10+ years contracting experience and I haven't actually got retirement in view yet.

                    But I get your point.
