Aargh!

Got the call I was expecting from the job agency but they said that the employer didn't want me because it would be such a drop in salary (I was asking for £14k when I'm currently on £17.5k). He tried to explain that £3k of that is spent on travel and then there's London weighting but it seems his mind was made up and didn't want me cos he (the employer, not the agency) though I was worth more than that and wouldn't stay in the job for long.

This really was a kick in the nuts but at least the agency called to say why I was rejected. Maybe I should just put £14k as my current wage on my CV as that's what I get after travel and it'd be less likely to scare off prospective employers...

It's not unusual. See here

You'd think they'd be receptive of the lack of I.T jobs at the moment and hand the title over really...
