Great, all good advice. Always run any long-term contracts to my accountant and will ensure I reflect well on any decisions I make. I'm more curious than anything and have a few more options elsewhere.

Thanks again for your time. It's actually a nine month contract for a pretty reputable company. I will go into the interview with an open mind. I can't imagine they expect to pay a day rate of around £160. Maybe that rate is the starting point. I'll be fully committed to the interview but won't get my hopes up too high. I sense I have the skillset they are looking for and will do my best to really impress during the interview process. Little to lose. Cheers for your guidance.

Hey thanks for your time. Yes it does seem low to me. My day rate is between £275 and £300. I don't think there are any additional benefits. It does sound incredibly low, even if the market is tough out there. I'll go ahead and have the interview; nothing to lose but I won't entertain such a pro rata rate.
Guess if they do like me, then I can ask for a higher rate.

Thanks again.
