That's not really true. Day rate for a decent SE contractor is about 400/500 (but ofc they don't get that, as mostly private contracting is rare).
But the big thing I disagree with is "most"... the perm industry in the UK is strong!
- madeofpalk 7y ago> but ofc they don't get that, as mostly private contracting is rare Is it? I've been contracting in the UK (through my own limited company ofc) for the past two years, at the top end of your band, and had no impression that what I do is rare. I'm glad to see this thread actually, for my next gig I'll definitely push for more money.

- madeofpalk 7y ago¯\_(ツ)_/¯ to the best of my ability
- ErrantX 7y agoDirectly with the company in question? or through a resourcing firm? my experience (On the other end of that transaction) is that the former is rarer because working through a specialist contract placement firm (e.g. Spring) has various attractions to a company (albeit higher cost).
- ionised 7y agoWhy do you say private contracting is rare in the UK? Every software company I've been to here is like 50% contractors.
- ErrantX 7y agoMost companies will contract through a management firm than with the individual directly.
- C1sc0cat 7y agoNot really in the UK - its mostly PLC or Umberella Companies for contractors. The fake contractor aka a body shop where you are a normal employee of some third party is not that common.
