You chaps with euro gigs. What's a good rate, a good honest rate over there. I am being courted for a long term role in Belgium and the rate is €650 a day (7.5 hrs). I'd probably move for the duration, and put some plans on hold, if it's worthwhile. I think, personally, anything over £450 a day is a good rate for the UK (obviously ignoring twats like sas who live in a world with an ethereal quality). But, what would be considered a good rate continent side?

It's a good rate for a techie but it depends what you do, where in Belgium and who the clientco is. If it's NATO in Brussels and you're doing some army or intelligence rocket science stuff then demand another 200 on top, otherwise it sounds pretty good.
Brussels is pretty expensive, other places in Belgium its a fine rate.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

Friend working in Luxembourg has a good agent who does his pay. He gets min pay per month, balance paid tax free, some kind of bonus.
In Europe, rate is not the only factor.Fiscal nomad it's legal.Comment
