    I hear that BNP Paribas are asking for 30% rate cuts

    oh dear that means they'll be earning about EUR 350 a day.

    On that rate I would seriously consider washing cars.
    I'm alright Jack

      They earn in EUR? So their £ buying power will not be too bad then.

        That’s enough for me to seriously doubt their credit worthiness. Remember folks, we work first and bill later, which means, effectively, that we give our clients credit. If ClientCO asks for such a drastic rate cut, get out and start on Plan B because it’s a good sign they can’t afford to pay.
        And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

          I think the taxpayer will bail them out. Luckily in this case it is the French taxpayer!

              I presume that is historic yield?

              Anyone want to guess at their future yield? I have a number in mind : a very round number.....

                One of my fellow test coordinator’s turned down the rate cut at ClientCo. ClientCo now seeking new testco; 3 candidates, all asking higher rate than original testco.
