Sounds about right to me as well. Although if you're better
networked and done good work commanding £450+ is not that rare.<br>

So, generally £300-£350/day at the moment. A few keep cropping up around £400/day and an exceptional rarity for really dull projects you sometimes see £450/day.

Most mid-level and senior jobs are being advertised in the higher end of the £40k-£60k bracket though.

<div>Hi London rubyists,<br>
<br>
I may move to London in the near future, and I'm starting to
look around.<br>
I'm fairly clueless when it comes to rates and salaries in
London.<br>
I'm a fairly senior profile with 10+ years of experience in
total,<br>
team lead experience, "scalable" web sites experience and 4
years of<br>
full-time Ruby work.<br>
What's the norm for daily rates for a freelancer ? What's the
norm<br>
for salaries, if there is such a thing ?<br>
Thank you,<br>
<br>
Elise<br>
(forgive me if this is a bit blunt, not entirely sure where
cultural<br>
sensitivities lie in this context)<br>
