Thanks. I have seen four figure contractor rates at a well known British bank on CW for senior team lead devs. And I've got first hand experience of four figure rate cards as a consultant with a "boutique" consultancy myself. I know that day rates for Python contractors at banks and hedge funds are healthy recently as I get a lot of agent calls. I guess it's an effect of two things: firstly, a lot of the banking work is driven by regulation, and so is really boring. Secondly, lots of startups drawing the best devs with decent salary + equity.
