opportuniy to work in the UK

My wife has the opportunity for an assignment in London and I have many questions on the job market in London:

What are the current economic conditions in the UK?

What are the consulting market conditions?

 What are the typical rates for senior independents /

bouquet firms in the UK.

What is the corporate market for senior level supply chain specialists?

 What is the salary range for SC directors / VPs?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I moved to London a few weeks ago. Market seems to be OK, agencies say my CV is very good, yet I haven't secured a single interview so far...sucks...maybe that's also because I'm not british/don't have London experience. Good luck to you, job-hunting may take a lot of time
