  • A friend of mine is Business Analyst and earns around £650 a day for what she does (yes there is no decimal point in there...) So immediately you think she must be rolling in it... ?


    However she  works on contract so can have no work for many months at a time without any pay at all.  It all evens itself out over the year.


    Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that a self employed Electrician won't be working 7 hours a day 5 days a week for the whole year so simply multiplying up the hourly rate will not give you a true representation of their annual salary. 

     

    it is my charging rate not my earning rate"
