Try www.cw360.com for UK conditions and news. I put senior dba inner london
into the salary checker there and got 55K for a permie job double that for
an annual equivalent rate for contractors. Bear in mind that I'm suggesting
that 700 quid a day is below the rate for a 'short term' contract only.
Hiring a real expert to troubleshoot costs. Sadly it doesn't actually
convert into salaries for us permies in the rest of the country. My wife,
who is a Patent Attorney, earns for example over twice my salary. I guess
the same probably applies as between say sydney and perth.
