    .NET rate for working from home

    Is £300 per day a good rate for a very short gig of mainly working from home? The (possible) contract of supposedly 4-6 weeks, the choice of people to do it is very limited (as admitted by the agent), perhaps £350-400 is more reasonable?

    Can't they pay you in hard drives?

      Considering you haven't worked for a year I'd think that was OK AtW?!!!

        Are you asking whether you think they will cough up more or whether you need more? Both are quite different questions .... neither of which i could answer...

        £300 is fine...

          In the last year I've done more than in previous 10.

          kramer: it was a quick straw poll just to see if the rate is so low that it would be below any self-respecting contractor to take

            300 from home might tempt me for a while. Do it.

                I'll ask for more, and lot more if its on-site...

                  Seems low to me. I'd never been that low myself. But if it's all that's on offer....

                    Well, I was not looking for it - agent found me and he admitted they are struggling to find people for that job (rather specialist), it seems to me that £350 for working from home and £500 in the office will be reasonable, perhaps £400 at home? Quite frankly I am reluctant to take it as it would defocus me and I am dubious as to whether they can achieve what they want in the first place (something I willl clarify later today), but doing some stuff from home for a couple of weeks for reasonable money could be handy.
