Contractor Rates

Hi everyone,

I’ve just been made redundant and am now looking at contracting opportunities in Lotus Notes/Domino development/system administration in the UK. Just wondering if anyone has any idea what is a reasonable rate or where I can find out what the going rate is? I don’t want to get shafted by the agencies.

I’ve seen contracts advertised at £300 - £350 a day and others say “market rates”. I’m guessing £350 is at the top end of rates but I don’t know.

I’ve got 10 years experience and certifications in both development and system admin.

thanks,

Glen
