- Joeboy 14y agoRecruiters sometimes advertise nonexistent jobs, or existent jobs at nonexistent rates, to get their foot in the door. I wouldn't necessarily take advertised jobs/rates on jobserve at face value.
- Patient0 14y agoTrue - but there are also real jobs for this rate and higher. The advertised rate for that posting is lower than my current daily rate.
- rodh 14y agoI have noticed this. There seems to be a massive gap between the finance sector and everyone else. I'm not too sure what to make of that. For the sake of comparison, the average salary for a Software Engineer at Google in London, according to Glassdoor (before bonuses) is £45k.
