I didn't want to get involved in this really, but after seeing Will's tweet I can't resist.
I only have one question: Where were all you mid-level developers wanting around 30k for a rails dev position in Manchester about 6 months ago!? I offered a position, and mentioned it to the group, and couldn't get a bite! Anyways, I think Will is in around the correct level, at least as an employer I believe it to be true, but we don't know what the agency takes!
