I think at the end of the day its all down to money and looking back through the Archives on this site we have had this discussion before over rates however a few years ago there was not this shortage .
All ok on the payrises that's understandable since it started to get busy about 2013 .But speaking from a free lance point of view rates have not move in the north sea or the middle east .
I think the problem is your salary and I am day rate however when company's contact me direct and tell me what there paying and then agency's contact me with the same job I think people should be given the opportunity to work direct . As we are not talking about a few hundred pounds over a month its a few thousand , Money that should be in your pocket and not there's .
Anyway I seem to be getting off the topic but with the cost of living going up the last thing you want to be doing is giving away a few thousand pounds to some middle man .
