Pretty saturated as well, lots of FE folks looking for contracts at the moment.

Day rates of £400-1000 a day for FE devs were common before COVID, now I’d expect ~20% less than that but YMMV.

Remote and visiting occasional is getting a lot more common for contractors these days, so you could detonate it work.

I find remote roles hard to find in London; especially don't appreciate you working from abroad and coming one week a month to London

£4-600 sure, but £1000 day rates? Who's getting that?

£1,000+ is pretty standard for Lead/Principal level engineers, in my experience, especially in financial services where it's often even higher than that.
