What a day rate for senior startegy consultant (Director level, exBig4). A company asked me to pickup a short term 8 week contract for them to help develop a GTM strategy. I never worked as a contractor before, and am between roles so this is a stop gap. Caveat company does not have UK presence so need to figure out best way to get paid, etc.

Sorry, but 1000-1200 is just way too low for a Director level. What is your current total comp including pension contributions? Work out your day rate from that and then multiply by 1.5.

For an 8 week gig it’s low. It’s like a short term let. There is a markup you need to apply.

1200 if uk . Probably more if USA based client

1000-1200 is about right

Realistically in this market, you aren’t likely to crack £1000 for a first gig. You might get in the £600-800 range with some strong credentials.
FWIW, I work at a FTSE10 and I pay my top contractors £800.

Not disputing the market may be soft but regardless the best ops and financial professionals brought in at senior levels do not work for the rates you have mentioned.
