I've applied for a new job today.
I'm not sure if I'd actually want it, though.

If they call you for interview then go. You'll at least be able to find out more about the role and may find it's more appealing than you'd thought

What is a reasonable day rate these days?
Figures seem lower than they were six months ago.

Role dependent as always, from £250 to £1200 per day

Depends where you're pitching
I've seen obscene numbers bandied about for HMRC contracts via Fujitso locally.

I get my money from putting people into property.
My biggest contract is next to HMRC's Northern Hub.

I'm laughing.

And - as I keep saying to the point of tedium
My own business - all my own work.

I know exactly what the job is
as it's working for a group I used to provide technical support for. It's a nine month contract starting in September, so a longer work guarantee than I have at the moment (though that could change as it already has twice.) I know I could do it standing on my head BUT I'm not sure about the wiseness of dipping my toe back into that particular programme, and the people I'd be working for are a fairly oleaginous bunch whom I frequently had to overrule in order to veto their wilder ideas that would have got them into trouble with EU auditors...

I've applied as it's not to start until September anyway, so hopefully I'll have a better idea about my current contract by then.

I might not even get an interview anyway.
