              Re: where?

              Germany, UK but also anyone who asks me my rate gets this as an answer and it works. If including expenses then it goes down to around €70. (You need to call yourself a consultant or systems programmer. Normal programmers are looking at around half that.)

                You guys are coining it in. Almost 15 years later and working for less than half of before despite the increased costs of inflation. Greece has faster wage inflation than the UK in the past decade. Talk about a shafting

                  I thought they'd rebranded us as systems engineers in europe, in my experience.
