Funny how no one wants to answer that.
The answer is it depends on the need…
The greater the need, the lower we’ll go for.
At present I am gainfully employed so my minimum is what I am being paid right now. How much that is is none of your business.
I will say this, a friend recently offered me 875usd a day for a supervisor role and I refused. I forwarded the job to some of my other friends.
Also understand that I am at the top of the ROV ladder, I have a lot of contacts, experience and a good consistent professional reputation. I am also well situated which is another determining factor.
I am only sharing this so the more experienced guys out there can see their are still jobs that pay reasonably well and you should be patient and not undersell yourselves. Once the industry pics up again, everyone will be screaming for bodies.
If people go out for cheap then they are doing themselves and everyone else a disservice.
Cheers,
