        Would that rate even cover the travel and accommodation expenses into London, or cover the cost of living there?

        I doubt it. I think a 'survey' (can't remember the source so may have been bollocks) found that you need at least £50k / year to even start to live comfortably in London. Of course that may be per household so a couple earning £25k each may be enough.

        £200/day over the year, assuming ~20 work days a month comes to only £48k.

            It's almost as if they don't understand that doing ivory-tower strategic development ("in either Java or C#.Net") in an investment bank is more demanding than doing it elsewhere...

              You gotta deal!
              What happens in General, stays in General.
              You know what they say about assumptions!
