Developer contract, day rate £500 in London or £400 remote working! WTF!
Does the agency/client seriously think they should pay less for the same work if done remotely? If anything, remote should pay more, it saves the client money and the remote worker will probably have more productive hours without the fucking shitty commute.

I think it's more if you're working remote you don't need the London inflation factor since you're not paying London prices so your wage is adjusted.

I'd say it's fair tbh.

It's bs, I've worked from home, worked in office everyday and done a mixture of the two over the last 25 years. Tbh the mixture works best but wfh definitely has fewer distractions and I've never sat on the sofa in my pants watching "cash in the attic" when I was supposed to be working.

This is pretty common in fact... Our Project managers located in Munich earn more money than the ones in other locations because living in Munich is much more expensive than at the other locations..
Don't see it as: remote gives less money but more like being in London gives more money.
