Salary and day-rate FAQ
Common questions on interpreting indicative change-role market ranges.
Can I use indicative ranges as final offer bands?
No. Treat them as orientation only, then verify with recruiter data, local benchmarks, and your internal pay framework.
Why can two contractors in the same role differ so much?
Scope, urgency, required specialist skills, and contract terms can materially change day rates.
Do country-level ranges reflect city-level reality?
Not always. Large markets can vary sharply by region and sector, so local checks are essential.
What is the quickest way to validate these ranges?
Cross-check with at least one recruiter, one trusted market benchmark, and your internal salary data before you make hiring or budgeting decisions.
