In my next agency job in 2008, with 3 years of experience, I was charged out to clients at £600-800 a day as a digital consultant. I've seen agencies with similar day rates recently.

How can this be fixed?

With inflation, this effectively means personal income has flatlined even if you've been climbing the ladder.

I don't think day rates have gone up that much either, so agencies can't be just making loads more profit.

The only place I've seen lately offering that kind of money for junior digital roles is the @tuc.org.uk

Junior jobs in digital these days are only paying £25-30k.

And senior digital jobs for people with my level of experience (20 years) often only pay around £50k.

Too much variation in the script for my liking. I could just about cope with the ones that go, "why did the thing happen?" And I get to say, "I don't know" then they answer.

I only know web developers that would work on big projects alongside designers, rather than people who do personal websites I'm afraid.

Of course, this was one year after they kettled my Queers Against Cuts group on the official Pride parade for absolutely no reason other than to intimidate activists.
If I wasn't radicalised before, I certainly was after all that nonsense.

...and one of their pieces of "evidence" that I was up to no good was the fact I'd been invited to a Riots Not Diets gig? How weird was that? 🤣

I just did it and was disappointed to find it did not tell me what age it estimated me to be 😃

Cool! It will be 3 years this November for me.
