Could not comment on IT.

Nonetheless in my own industry I've enjoyed very little competition over the years.

Now all of a sudden there's several applications for a role I would not normally enquire. I don't know if it's chancers or real competition, but then again I would not trust an agent as far as I could throw them.

You should try living on average salary (£24k), or better - create a business that can actually sustain someone who YOU pay £300 per day.

£350 - £365 per Day

Correct. £350-£365/day is not 300 quid a day. It's probably this unexotic approach to maths that has kept me out of the banking industry for so long.

We're contractors. Not salary men(& Women).

HTH.

I'd say its just IB or C++, or could these just be a couple of exceptions from opportunist clientco's?

I'm in infrastructure and rates haven't really dropped since about 18-20 months ago.
Although the market has been fairly quiet in the run up to the govt spending review I'm successfully negotiating the tulip rates up by at least £50 per day, and still getting my CV put forward for roles.
Makes a nice change for once

You'd be better off permie at that rate.

Or, emigrate to Sydney. The rates are good here. With current exchange rate you can earn 700-800 GBP/day doing that sort of work. There is lots of work around too.
