Then £46k = £460 / day
What's your minimum? What is a realistic target?

19. Working with Agencies
Is it a genuine live role?
Who is the hiring organisation. Has the agency placed there before? Are they
on the Preferred Supplier List? What is the selection process?
Have they asked for references…why?
Contract roles…agency takes references. Perm role…hiring organisation takes
references. Using your references just to find new clients?
Rate?
Have they told you not to discuss rates during interview? Why? Lack of
transparency? What is the agency fee?
