UK hourly weekly rate

[PeterDuthie]

Access programming is "not" how I normally make a living but I've been asked to undertake a (3 week) project to set up some databases involving some programming. What would be a reasonable weekly or hourly rate in the UK? I'm a C++ programmer, recently started with access and VBA. I don't want to ask for too much and the experience will be valuable to me.

Cheers,

Peter

The amount I charge depends rather on who is paying. The general rule seems to be the bigger the firm, the more they will pay. If I were you, and I was confident in my abilities, I would charge my usual rate for C++. If I wasn't, I'd still charge the same, but pay someone such as me for help.

Thanks Peter. I'll keep what you've said in mind when it comes to speaking about money. And I'll get on touch with you if I get out of my depth)

Cheers,
Peter
