So 4 digits + dob gets quite close to the whole thing. Call and ask (using a number from the recruiter's website, not from the email) | |

| Apr 9, 2018 at 15:15 | comment | added | Philip Kendall | @DavidK For what it's worth, £600/day isn't an unreasonable rate for a London based DevOps engineering, particularly with one of the merchant banks who are "less cost sensitive" than some. | |

| Apr 9, 2018 at 14:40 | comment | added | user16259 | I'd just use false but plausible DOB and last 4 chars. They want to create something you'll remember but it need not be used for anything else. If you get hired just change if needed. | |
| Apr 9, 2018 at 14:37 | comment | added | David K | That pay equates to an annual salary of £156k ($220k USD, €180k) - are you in any way worth that amount? | |
| Apr 9, 2018 at 14:34 | comment | added | Neuromancer | Ring up the company and ask to speak with her - contract recruiters do more often say who the contract Is with as its a much faster process | |
