I was offered £28 an hour last week (senior contract A/P, long list of required skills)

Just seen one on Jobserve for a project manager, £215 a day.

Now where did I put that plan B?

I'd be interested to see what the agency is charging and indeed what the consultancy would charge you out at.

26 quid an hour is less than most Indian bodyshoppers will charge for numpties who cant even open the workflow editor.

God, I've been grumbling about a 5% rate cut that would still end up with treble that rate.

Are p**stake rates like this the norm in Britain now?

I've got a job in my in-box for an experienced flash developer at 200 pd

I can't believe that this is the going rate as it's not what I do (wrong sort of Flash)

Royal Mail for me once this gigs over.

Few hours a day, keep the coffers ticking over, play a bit of golf
until things buck up !

[FarmerPalmer]

I'm down 20% with this gig - but at least I have a gig.

Flash developers are cheap though, AFAIK... it's the kind of skill many teach themselves and use to hack about. Like VB

Flex on the other hand, which I luckily fell into, is much more valuable.

why should you be paid £500/day when equally skilled and more motivated people in other nations would work for a small fraction of that?
