Not sure if 'F' means something to other people but to me it means f... All! 15 years in ops tech is great and depending on industry you're looking at £500-£700 a day

It means following

I have 5YOE and charge up to $200/hr. YMMV based on your skill set though

C1: you're doing pretty good at that rate as an independent. (I'm impressed, as It's honestly higher than I would pay for an independent consultant with 5 YOE).

I've seen highly technical independent contractors charge in the $150 to $250/ hr range. Depends on the term of the engagement and the size of the client.

But as C1 said, YMMV.

15 YOE and charging 275/hr

I didn't ask to increase the amount or JB and I strongly believe I informed early so they can look for other candidates. Is this bluff? Any HR here to clarify
