          WTF do they mean with 'Market rate'. Why not just write down how much you want to pay and then I can decide whether to apply?

            Dodging shells, bullets and suicide bombers was not in his original job spec.

              It´s the 2000 Group so they´re probably just fishing anyway.

                It's a tactic to get people who wouldn't bother if they knew how pitiful the rate is to apply then talk them into it. Plus it's an opportunity to get people to state their bottom line and trouser a nice fat margin if the rate the client will pay is much higher.

                I agree it's a nonesense.

                Back on topic I was asked to consider a role in Helmand (Afghanistan), after careful consideration I turned it down despite the project looking interesting.
